Areas of Concern: I'm concerned that my GPA isn't competitive enough. I know that some of the schools that I chose are GPA heavy and have cut offs, so I just wanted to get advice on which schools I should take off my list and which I should add. Last cycle, I was interviewed for both Auburn and UF, and I was waitlisted for Auburn and rejected from UF after. I did a file review for UF and the advisor told me that with the GPA I have now, I should be reviewed again this cycle. I wasn't able to apply to my in-state, UGA, because my GRE scores didn't come in on time. Any advice would be so helpful!
