<p>Agreed on both points; most grad programs require at least a 3.0 (although some people on this board and TheGradCafe have gotten in with less), but GPA is just one factor. When I visited a school a couple months ago, the presentation we were given said quite clearly (as in, they were bullet-pointed and the director of the program went over it) that research experience and letters of recommendation were the biggest things considered, followed by the numerical stuff.</p>
<p>Also, how much time do you have left in your undergraduate career? If you make a big effort to turn it around your last few semesters, a few people have noted that seems to help out a lot.</p>
