Hey all, I just had a question, and maybe someone out there has an answer! I'm going to be starting a master's program in the fall, which will take two years, so I will be applying next may for the ingoing class of 2008. I was just curious how they will factor my grades as a graduate student agaisnt the majority of other applicants which will only have thier undergrad record. I'm thinking that they will put the most emphasis on the most recent coursework for all the applicants, which would balance it somewhat. Anyways, what do you guys think?

They are definitely going to be looking at your masters grades... study hard and do well. Coming out of undergrad i had a terrible gpa and got no interviews. I have a 3.85 in my masters and i have my first interview in early sept. I just spoke with my dentist/former employer/mentor who has been on admissions committees at multiple schools... and he said that a masters makes a huge difference. Good Luck!
