i’ll have to agree w/ barret (as always). yes there are some programs that have something called auto admit where if you have a minimum GPA and ACT, you are in. but much tougher ones like business, fine arts, engineering, and well regarded programs are going to look more deeper into your application. they want a well rounded person not someone who simply has the minimum and nothing else to show for.
If you had applied last year for business, GPA played a lot less into admissions than it should have. people with 4.1 and so on were being rejected while people with much lower were being accepted. grades are not everything. business for example would be looking for leadership and potential.
