A somebody who actually knows what they are talking about MOST grad programs have at MINIMUM a 3.0 GPA requirement. The ones I went to were stricter they were 3.5.

As for getting in with a 2.0 NO WAY.

BESIDES: In grad school its 2 C’s and you are out. That means you can get a “c” in one grad course but your second puts you on the street.

Don’t forget the GRE. All schools have a minimum requirement for those scores. Also, I have never heard of getting into grad school with a 2.0 gpa. You have to have at least a 3.0 gpa. Look at all the schools you are interested in and find out their requirements. Don’t give up if you don’t get into one the first time. Not everybody gets in the first time, it is not failing. You can apply again for the next year and in the meantime do an internship or short/small program that gives you more experience. Experience in your field helps when applying to grad school.

Good Luck.

Just make sure you have at least a 3.0 (B average).

To help your chances:

– Get to know a few of your professors well enough so that they can write you good letters of recommendation

– Join any subject-related extracurriculars

– Take a leadership position in something

A’s and B’s. More A’s if possible. A C or 2 might not hurt too much, but stay away from D’s and F’s. It also depends on which field you want. If you want an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, better have really good grades.

Depending on the university, could also depend on your SAT scores most here, require a 23 or higher. The school will also look at high school transcripts, I would suggest a 2.5 – 3.5 gpa.

Well, you would need at least a 2.00 GPA…but I would recommend at least a 3.0…especially if you are looking to enter grad school in the same subject that you got your Bachelor’s degree in
