How many guys are worried about their GPA when they are 17-21? I was chasing skirts and drinking beer and that is all I cared about


While doing this if you have a heartbeat you will also maintain a 3.0. I don't care what your undergrad is unless it is engineering there is absolutely NO excuse to have below a 3.0.

I'm sorry, but that's pretty darn pathetic if they are letting kids into a GRADUATE school program with a 2.5 GPA, even if it's conditional.
I don't agree at all, the grad adviser will help you make a schedule and if after the semester he/she thinks you are qualified for grad school then what is the problem?

This application allows you to take some graduate courses, you still have to be accepted into a department before it applies to a degree. Your performance in the grad classes is considered PART of your application along with your GPA, test scores and letters of recommendation. If gives the department more information and in many cases more accurate information than a 15 year old GPA.

I had only a 2.72 in undergrad and got in a double masters program with a 744 GMAT

Someone should at least check whether or not scores are possible before making shite up on the internet.


Yea I fricked that number up really bad. I saw this a few minutes ago and found my scores. My point was not to look incredibly smart (and douchy), but to show how incredibly average my scores were, yet still got in (UH) with less than a 3.0.

Full disclosure: V=28, Q=31, W=5.5, total = 510

I've posted for a while now, and would not intentioanally lie to a forum full of strangers. Certainly not about my supposed intelligence. But I am smart enough to actually look up the shite if I was going to lie ( )Don't know if you believe me. Don't care. Just wanted to correct myself for the record. Your response was certainly valid.

I thought it was strange of you to do that, but you gotta call them like you see them.

for manning up and clearing the air.

I know a guy with a 2.9 and like a 700 GMAT that got in to LSU MBA


Hell, I had a 2.35 GPA and a 740 GMAT and got into LSU MBA. Seriously, I was a huge goofoff in undergrad, Bluto was worse than me but not by much.

Thank God for GMAT.
