So, recently decided to extend out another year in college to finish my degree; therefore I will be applying in 2019 for 2020 admission. I have, I guess a lot of boxes checked, and am trying to fix any of the deficiencies that I do have. I know my GPA isn't stellar, and will be scaling back from my other activities to raise it as high as possible, but I realize it can be anywhere from +/- 0.2 points from what it is now (that engineering life lol). Given that I have an extra year, I really do not want to do any smp or postbac. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated!
