<p>Honestly, you have a very high probability of just wasting your money should you apply now. 3.0 is the minimum for most graduate schools, and even lower-tier programs usually want at the very least a 2.5. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but applying with a 2.4 and no real-world experience post-baccalaureate is an easy app for gradcoms to toss in the first cut.</p>
<p>What would you say in your SOP as to why you performed so poorly, and how would you convince them that you could do far better as a graduate student?</p>
