My stat was lower last year but I somehow raised it a bit.
I did pretty bad on my science classes during undergrad years, although I did well in psych. Now I find it ridiculously hard to raise my overall GPA because I have around 250 semester units.

I applied to 14 different places last time around and I got rejected by all and wait-listed on one. I have great letter of references from one PT and couple of faculties.
I really hope I can get in around this time, I think it's my third.. or fourth.., but any advice on what I can do would be very much appreciated.

You may need to do some graduate work with a GPA so much under 3.0. Most places use 3.0 as the chopping block, and I only know of one that allows applicants to have a 2.7 cumulative gpa to apply, but I'm sure there are others (AT Still in AZ).
