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. https://www.thefirstread.com/accepted-to ... ase-study/

Hope that's helpful,

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