I know someone with a sub 3.0 GPA who went on to get a master’s degree.



I am that person, but that was AFTER I had years of experience. So one could say that you can get into graduate programs with a sub 3.0 GPA BUT it will cost you a delay in when you can be admitted. So you won’t be age 23/24 with an M.S…more likely age 30+.

…and we are not talking Top schools. Columbia University pretty much told me that we don’t care if you get a 4.0 GPA in the graduate certificate program. We STILL will not guarantee you admission to the M.S. program.
