In grad school do you keep you grades from undergrad or do you start from scratch?

Cookie D’oh asked:


If I enter grad school with a certain GPA, does it stay or is it wiped out and I have to start from the bottom? It is required to have 3.0 Gpa to stay in the program.

escapedmelodies asked:


I’m going to be a junior in college this fall, and want to be admitted into an English grad program in Fall ‘12. The school I’m looking at says that the grad office starts processing applications Oct. 1 for Fall semester, and the English program deadline for Fall applications is Feb. 1.

Whe should I start the application, take the GRE, and all that?

I’m having issues in one of my classes at school (although not purely academic) and I don’t know if it’s worth dealing with. I’m considering taking a Withdraw Pass but I’m a little worried that will hurt me in the grad school application process. Any thoughts?

What are ways to pay for applying to grad school?

Friday, October 21st, 2011
ihateaccounting asked:


I am planning to enter grad school next fall. I didn’t realize how competitive job market was, and this is one of the reasons I am choosing to go to graduate school. In the meantime, I am unemployed, and I do not have the money to apply to schools. Transcripts, applications fees, envelopes, stamps for letters of recommendation, GRE exam… I don’t have the money. One private school waived my application fee, but the other schools are public. How do I pay for these things?

Is it still possible to get into grad school for mathematics?

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011
bob8763763 asked:


I am entering my senior as a math major and I am considering grad school for a masters. However, my “track record” so to speak is kinda rocky because when I entered my junior year in 2003 I found out I would be having a kid and I had ended up failing my classes that term and then I got a full time job to save money for the baby. Over a year later I returned to school and now my over all math GPA is about 2.5. Over my senior year I will be taking 13 mathematics credit hours and finish a minor in physics and I hope to get my GPA up to somewhere around 2.8. Is grad school still possible for me? I worry that schools that I apply to may look at my bad year when I stopped going to school in a negative manner. Thanks for any suggestions.
