The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #27:

I had a low GPA (2.6) in college. Since then, I have taken graduate courses at an accredited university where I have achieved a higher GPA (3.6). Do I have a chance of being accepted to a competitive graduate school, such as NYU ? (courtesy Lilly Knight, Carmel, CA)

Answer #27:

NYU is indeed highly competitive, but a successful graduate school record usually erases a weak undergraduate program. Have you taken credit-bearing courses toward a degree or just random courses in subjects which interest you? You best bet is to call the department where you are interested in studying and ask to speak with an admissions representative. EDUFAX provides services for the Graduate School Applicant.
