The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #29:

My GPA is above 3.0. Compared to the average GPAs of students admitted to the schools I am interested in, my GPA falls flat. What level tier should I expect to be accepted to ?

Answer #29:

Most lists publish only scores for the top, and not the middle or bottom tiers. I suggest you do some investigation - correspond with the schools that interest you and ask what might enhance your application. It is possible that a period of work before graduate school might be looked upon favorably. Also, your GRE score is a critical factor. Study as hard as you can so that admissions officers will realize you are capable of functioning productively in a graduate program. If there were any extenuating circumstances which affected your GPA, let them know. EDUFAX provides services for the Graduate School Applicant.
