[quote=Anonymous]In my field and fields like it, GPA does matter very much for grad school applications, even if time has passed since the bachelor's degree. We start to worry a little below a 3.5, and under a 3.0 we would likely not admit unless there has been outstanding career experience in the field since the bachelor's. One strong recommendation I would give is that newer college students be helped to understand right away how difficult it is to raise a GPA later if the earlier data points are weak. Simple math, but most of them don't think too hard about it at the beginning, or are used to weighting at the HS level that obscures things, or figure they will buckle down in the upperclass years when they're settled in a major they care about. Nailing those comparatively easy gen-ed courses, even if you're bored, can really make a difference. --College prof[/quote]
