Default GPA after junior year


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
If you are applying after 3rd year of undergrad (junior year), do they consider your GPA at that point, or do they reconsider you when senior year is done? I have a decent GPA right now, but with a tough senior year coming up, my GPA will probably drop.

i think if you have lets say a 3.6 and it drops to like a 3.5 they probably wont mind, now if it drops considerably and you get F's and D's that might show a red flag, but if you get more B's than A's and it drops then I dont think thats a big deal. Then again it depends on the class and the school you're applying to.

^Thanks!

I was more curious to know if they consider your GPA at the point of applying (For me, my junior GPA)? Is it weighed equally to someone who has completed their BSc?

The gpa at point of applying is considered (your junior year gpa). If U get all d's in your senior year or something they have grounds to revoke your acceptance

Be careful. Try to get all A's still. You don't want to slack off a bit then not get any acceptances, then go into the next app cycle with a lower GPA.

After you get accepted, C = Degree
