标题: GPA question for Berkerly and UCLA
I heard that these two schools are not flexible with undergraduate GPA. My undergraduate GPA are very low, around 2.5. I got my Master in US. My graduate GPA is 3.6. My major is engineering, a lot of guys in these major have low GPAs in China. I am wondering If I should apply for these two schools. I don't want to waste my money.Does anybody give me an advice? Thanks

for Berkeley, I think the average is above 3.0. good news is that you are applying for B-school not a law school. so you can always explain why your GPA is so low. Good essay should help a great deal.

recently, there is a news article talking about the low GPA in UCLA engineering department. I guess low GPA in engineering department is also true in USA

no worry... confirmed from the admission staff that if you have a much better GPA in your graduate school, they will just disgard your undergraduate GPA, because the graduate one is more recently, and thus a better reflection of your current academic ability.

Although Anderson's 1st year students' average GPA is 3.5, you won't have a big problem if you have been working for several years and your GMAT is high,and additionally your graduate GPA already looks pretty good!

as far as i know, the engineer deparment in Berkerly adopts a grading system called BELL curve. u guys should know how a bell looks like. that means no matter how hard you try. the professor only takes 5% of the class students as A, 20% as B, 60%-70% as C, and the rest is D. that is why Berkerly's engineering department is so famours in U.S.. if you are a student there(engineering), you can easily get a 70k/year job offer at ur senior years even ur gpa is under 3.0(>2.2).

Hi petalfly,

I got the interview inviation from Haas. I gradated at a Chinese University with low GPA: 2.9. So, I think if you GMAT isn't as low as you GPA, or you can show your academic strenghth in other ways. They may interested with your applicatoin.

Good luck
