Nova said don't bother applying with less than 3.5

3.7+ if you want to feel secure about your chances for interviews.
3.6- leaves uncertainty (you'll prob get in somewhere. Apply really broadly).
3.5 is the minimum gpa you need to hit to make it into the "Can't toss it out yet so in the 'Fake maybe...but def a no later' pile the app goes."
Hypothetical plan of attack? Aim for a 4.0...maybe make it out with a 3.8. Apply. Get in. Everybody wins

I had 8 interview invites, attended 7, and was accepted to 3 and waitlisted with 3. I did 3.5 GPA in my smp but I'd definitely say that my program was more difficult than the ones that people typically talk about.
If you don't can I ask you which DMP program you attended. I am looking into possible post-bacc or SMP program to improve my application. Any insight would be helpful.
Not sure that I would recommend a post-bacc. A certificate does not carry the weight of a degree/diploma.
I attended MU. I'd definitely recommend it.

HI, what does SMP stand for? Thanks for your time.
Special Master in Physiology
Actually it stands for Special Masters Program. It doesn't necessarily have to be in Physiology. 🙂
