<p>Two questions:</p>
<p>Do they look at grades from other institutions, or just your credits?</p>
<p>Can course load (taking more advanced courses than usual) and overloading (e.g. having 22 credits / semester) compensate for a not-too-hot GPA? (My estimated cumulative GPA after accounting for this semester is 3.45; my current semester GPA should be 3.68-3.79)</p>
