My cumulative is a 3.1. My science GPA is about .4 points higher, not really concerned about that.
What I'm wondering is, are all gpa's considered equal, upward trends notwithstanding. The reason for my low GPA was the result of doing poorly in several of my very basic freshman and sophmore classes - I received a D in health 101, for example. Additionally, these classes were taken over a decade ago.
I eventually got my act together during junior year and experienced a nice upward trend. I recently went back to school to take my pre-reqs and have earned mostly A's and a few B's in these classes.
Over my last 60 credit hours my cumulative is something like a 3.7.
Yes, I still have a 3.1 cumulative, but do you feel schools will overlook this, considering how long ago my poor performance was, and the fact I've done so well in much harder classes since?
