DebraBaker:

This is my first post here but the title of this thread caught my attention, gave me a chuckle, so why not start here?

My GPA isn’t quite what I wish it would be (I graduate in the fall,) but my Biology (major,) grade will be pretty high when all is said and done. If I am reading correctly, the major GPA is taken into serious consideration when an application is being considered? If so, perhaps I’m better situated than I had believed.



From what I’ve seen, both the overall GPA and the major GPA are taken into consideration, although the major is given more weight.

I’m hoping I’m a bit better suited than I thought, too…wasn’t sure what I wanted to do my first two years, dropped below a 3.0 overall (down to 2.8), then worked up to 3.2 overall and 3.6 major with two more quarters to go. Here’s hoping.
