Case study on low GPA and admission to a top program Post Mon Jul 09, 2012 5:43 am
The first article I wrote about what to do (or whether you should apply) with a low GPA generated a lot more questions and many readers of this forum requested more detail on what to do if you have a low GPA. I wrote this second article to address some of these issues. http://www.thefirstread.com/accepted-to-kellogg-with-a-low-gpa-case-study/

Hope that's helpful,
-james young

Thanks for the post, even though it's anecdotal, it makes me feel a lot better about my 2.84 and 730 combo...
