<p>Intro:</p>
<p>I am going to be a senior next year and I'm currently studying Electrical Engineering. My overall GPA is 3.02 and I think my core GPA is probably slightly higher...but not much different.
I want to apply for a master's program in Bio-medical Engineering and I'm studying for my GRE right now for which I am taking the Kaplan course to make sure I get a high score. I am also doing a research internship with a Bio-Med Engr group and I will be publishing a paper before the end of this year under the guidance of a biomed professor.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>Now, I know that I have a low GPA but I'm hoping that my GRE score will be good and I would have published paper before I apply for the grad program. I am really passionate about wanting to study further in this field, how tough will it be for me to get accepted at good colleges like University of Florida or Penn State?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
