  1. why is your GPA low?

  2. what is “my university”?

  3. Are you a CA resident?

@stannyford Paul’s right, you need some kind of explanation for that GPA, maybe because your school is tough/you took the most rigorous classes etc.

Not exactly sure how much top schools weight GPA, but I would imagine it is still the most important when put in terms of college admission.

EC’s: You didn’t elaborate that much but I’ll assume they’re excellent.

Get that GPA up and you’ll have an excellent shot.
