[@austinbray6705]

this is something I'm going through right now. I have a 3.30 GPA right now as a result of some personal issues during the pandemic, and although I'm working to get to a 3.5/3.6 by end of this final year, I'm concerned I still wont be competitive enough

[@tlighta1]

What courses/majors do applicants have in undergrad though, that they have at least a 3.6? Would STEM majors, who would have a more difficult course load and lower gpa (less than a 3.6), be admitted? A 3.3gpa was mentioned (without a specific major). What would be a cutoff for STEM?
