Thanks for the replies above. I’ve heard of many students with 3.5-3.6 GPAs get in. What I fail to see is how Junior years show relevance to a student’s future success – especially when I’ve shown achievement and (assuming I receive a major upwards trend in the next 2 years).

To Fluffy: when I apply, my grades will show dedication to my studies. If I hadn’t put so much persistence this year on personal projects, none would not have turned out to be remotely successful. Junior year is very disengaging and I’ve learned a lot more being autodidactic than sitting in the classroom.
