<p>I messed up a little bit by something/someone and dropped straight down from 3.9 to the current GPA. Sigh. </p>
<p>here are my questions, could someone please give me clues. I sincerely appreciate these who want to help me:</p>
<ol>
<li>I am planning to apply for master programs. Is that true, GPA thereby is the most important thing?</li>
<li>Is that true, master programs are much easier to get in?</li>
<li>I am quite sure I can get into GT's master program anyway because of the five year BSMS program. But still, I am looking for some possibilities for UCB, Stanford, CMU and MIT(yes, I know it sounds like a joke based on my experience, sigh). The reason is that I wan to specialize in semiconductor and/or IC circuit design areas and would be better off in these schools. Anyone has some clues about my chance?</li>
<li>ain't GRE scores really significant although required by schools?</li>
</ol>
