<p>I know Im dumb so don't harsh.
Are there any schools accepted 2.5 to 3.0???
Please advice some schools with big name in general or in engineering I don't care.I don't want to go to state university for my grad.
I think after finishing my undergrad , I will have:
3-straight quarter thesis (research) - that is mandatory in order to graduate with an engineering degree at my school
one internship or co op.
GRE - I don't know yet but I will try my best
GPA - the highest I can get is 3.2 because I never on the top on my classes ( only 2 to 5 students can get A in each engineering course at my school) but I have a lot of B-, C+ so I may end up 2.8 2.9.
Letter of Recommendation: I will try to get at least three.( Im just planning. What about if I don't get any?????? )</p>
<p>Well, if you can get 2.8 or 2.9 and a good score on the GRE, even schools that say they have a 3.0 limit may make an exception.</p>

- Why not? Beggars can’t be choosers.</p>
<p>(It sounds like your school has a tough grading policy. Many graduate schools probably know this, if your school has a good reputation. Also, if your school does have a reputation as a rigorous and challenging academic institution, and you’re really doing alright there, you could go to grad school there…)</p>
<p>It sounds like an unfunded (or initially so at least) MS program from a lower-first tier or second tier program may be your only choice. You go to CSU Pomona, which is probably a very rigorous program but it does not have a strong national reputation so you might not be able to use grade deflation as an excuse.</p>
<p>If your ultimate goal is to go for a doctorate (very long and strenuous), maybe you can go to a place like Iowa State and show mastery in a rigorous research based MS program with lower admissions requirements.</p>
<p>Why do you want to go to grad school if you are struggling in undergrad?</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona… Same as ur undergrad…?</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t you want to go to your state flagship? It will almost definitely be your best option if you can get accepted.</p>

<p>Because state flagship in CA is UC Berkeley, not a typical BSU. MS program has 20% admit rate and PhD has ~13% admit rate, many of whom are internationals.</p>
<p>Cal Poly Slo? If you’re gonna stay on the west coast that’d be a good option. It ain’t a huge national school but everyone on the west knows mustangs are legit.</p>
