Is a 3.3 GPA is enough to get into a decent graduate school?

Graduate School
1

<p>I wanted to apply to the following school for Food Science Master program: Univ of Florida, The Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin Madison, Purdue, Penn State, and UC Davis (reach). I know that’s a lot of schools but I really want to get into at least 1.</p>

<p>Junior at a decent state school
Overall GPA: 3.3/ In major: 3.8
Major: Food Science
Research: 1 semester, not really into researching, I don’t know why
Internship(s): 2 summer internships with 2 well known food company, hopefully i can get a Co-Op with Hershey next year
Job: 30-35 hrs/week with highest management position that a student can obtain without becoming a full time worker (manage ~300 employees)
GRE: have not taken yet, but probably going to be average</p>

<p>I know I am not the smartest students but hopefully the rest of my application is enough? :(</p>

<p>To answer your question: Yes.
I got into Georgetown with a 3.3 something undergrad GPA.</p>

<p>What matters most is your fit with the program. Heck, you could have a 4.0 in undergrad, but if you don’t know what you want to do or how you fit in with the department, you’re not going to get into anywhere.
On the other hand, with your 3.3, if you can show that you closely align with a department’s offerings, you can probably get into some good places. Good luck! </p>
