Did I mess up my college career?

<p>Next year, I am going to be a 3rd biochemistry major and I have a 2.4 GPA. I honestly feel like I have messed up big time and dug myself into a hole that seems impossible to get out of. I currently have 88 credits right now, is it possible to crack 3.0 GPA by the end of 4th year, assuming you need 180 credits to graduate? </p>

<p>I’m not even sure what I want to do after college, but I was considering taking the LSAT as that score is waited much more heavily than my GPA. Any help would be great, thanks.</p>

<p>And How bad does a low GPA look to prospective employers and schools?</p>

<p>yes. do the math. </p>

<p>180 credits minimum = average GPA of 3.57 to cancel out the 2.4</p>

<p>many programs (grad/professional) have a minimum GPA of 3.0 to apply, but that’s just to apply – the average stats of matriculated students are well above the minimum. unless you have stellar accomplishments to make up for the low GPA, it’s not going to be easy finding any kind of post-grad position.</p>
