Eastern Connecticut State University Graduate School

So I’m interested in applying for Eastern’s Graduate Education school but I’m worried that my GPA will hinder my chances. As of now, my GPA is a 2.879 and in order to reach their required GPA (3.0) I’ll have to get a 3.7 GPA. I suppose my question is if anyone applied to Eastern’s Education program when they were just below the GPA requirement.
I appreciate any help whatsoever!
