So I recently graduated. Ended with a 3.74 GPA and a 3.89 science GPA but that doesn't really matter except for the fact that it shows that I have a strong upward trend. I retook a few classes, transferred after my freshmen year, took a lot of college classes in h.s. which came back to haunt me...

Hi all, I am interested in Columbia’s post-bacc program due to their multiple linkage programs. However, my undergrad GPA is low and I am obviously worried that I’ll immediately be weeded out because of this. I graduated from a top 20 public university (full tuition scholarship) with a 3.13...
