<p>I am an average engineering school at an average state school. Specifically, Mechanical Engineering Junior, at Florida State. Anyway, I am trying to get into the accelerated masters program through my school. I do not technically meet the technical academic “expectations” of the college in order to apply for the BS/MS program. Those expectations being that I have a 3.2 in upper division. However, I do meet the grad school requirements. Anyway, what I want to know is what are the most important GPAs to consider and what else should I do to get into the program. </p>
<p>I transferred into FSU with an AA straight out of high school. The following are my GPAs calculated differently. </p>
<p>SCF (First Institution): 3.34
Overall (both institutions): 3.20<br>
Upper Division (all credits after 60): 2.76
FSU only: 2.81
Upper Level (3000/4000 classes only): 3.37</p>
<p>I currently have 103 credits. I will have 119 when I apply for grad school. </p>
<p>My Upper Division and FSU GPA includes most of my science/math courses which are where I performed poorly. My engineering classes I am quite a bit better with. </p>
<p>I have one more full semester of all upper level classes before I can and have to apply. I believe that I can get at least an average of 3.0 in those classes next semester. </p>
<p>Also, will my extra curricular work come into play in this decision? </p>
<p>I am not concerned that I will perform poorly from this point forward. However, I am concerned that my poor performance in pre-requisite courses are going to cause me to not be able to get into grad school. Even though most of those I took while still in high school.</p>
<p>Anyway, with these factors in mind what is the possibility of me getting into the accelerated masters program?</p>
