<p>What grad schools are you aiming at, will help. I am guessing really prestigious grad programs will say no solely on GPA. I was looking through grad schools and the more prestigious programs had their GPA min or avg at 3.5 and I think 2.8 → 3.5 is a huge huge difference they can’t just overlook.</p>
