hi everyone,
when dentistree and me started this conversation, it was aimed at looking for a solution to the problem that a low gpa from ece was not acceptable to some colgs, and there r more colgs moving towards that trend.we didnt realise when it got heated, sorry nilebds....., i understand that a low gpa is not the end of the world,
but please note RAHMED, that though the number of schools taking ece n wes might be equal, but i am more concerned abt schools taking wes on EAST coast........leaves us with few, do not wanna mention them coz as somone sensible pointed out this thread is read by faculty,.........2.9 gpa might get one an interview, but 2.7 might not, 2.2 has a slimer chance n 2 has the lowest.........and it depends on every university individually to decide what is the lowest they accept.but definitely above 3 is SAFE, one wunt get a rejection coz of gpa.
good info provided by MAGADH,
DAMAST, u r rite we take responsibilty for our low gpa, but we r not cribbing abt it, we wanna move on despite our low gpa.
FIDO, u gave me good advice,thanks a lot, but i dunt see any reason for u to get mad.try to understand if u r in the same shoes,it bites hard.
and as somone pointed out there r other things one can improve, and other plus points in one/s application that one can improve upon to cover up the low gpa, well that agian depends on how low is the gpa, 2.9 or 2.6 can be well covered, 2.0 cant be.but then we can apply to schools taking wes.
i dunt understand why people have a problem with my posting my feelings abt gpa on the forum, if you dunt like it, dunt read it, n dunt reply to it..........at least do not send arrogant personal mesgs, i will not reply to them.
this is a tough time, and trying to fgure out other alternatives, thanks to FIDO for his suggestions.........anyone woh can give constructive suggestions is free to do it, people who hav an anger problem please abstain from this thread.thank you all for your input.
