Does low GPA means you have no chance?

<p>@barium:
hm…
I was kinda expecting that there would be a problem with Maths since this happened with one of my seniors too.
Still, its not just GPA. Its also the amount of knowledge I am gaining. Do you think its practically possible for me to do independent study for the subjects I am taught at college? I do have loads of time. And I am also trying.</p>

<p>So I am planning on this: Study. Go an extra mile. Screw the GPA (as in don’t worry about it much). Get decent recs. Back your level of understanding through publications (have no idea about this one though). Get work-experience. Prepare for GRE. And hope it all works out.</p>

<p>Does it sound feasible?</p>
