anon11103 Likes Earned: 5 just beast your test, improve your additional coursework- maybe even get a one year masters THIS year, even if its an online program that gets you a 4.0 --> pick up extra curriculars and think hard about your story- all of this can be fixed. I got into multiple M7 schools with a 3.0 (3)
