<p>I am a third year geology student looking at grad school since a graduate degree is almost required for the oil and gas industry.</p>
<p>Right now i am really concerned about getting in because of my poor gpa and lack of research experience. I transfered to my current college and took most of my general classes at community colleges so because I am taking mostly difficult classes my gpa has sunk to a 3.1 which only considers my 21 hours in residence. </p>
<p>I was wondering how hard it is to get into grad school for geology and by how much I need to raise my gpa. Im confident I can make a good GRE score, and I will try to get into some research next semester.</p>
<p>Basically if you have experience with geology grad school and know average gpa or anything regarding admissions, please help me out and give me advice.</p>
