<p>Based on all my stats:</p>
<p>I am at a State University
Above 2.5GPA.
Unpaid internship (iphone app development; objective c)
A java programming club (android app development; java)
A tutor.
Some volunteer activities.</p>
<p>Based on all this, what would you recommend to people who have low GPAs? </p>
<p>Major: Computer Engineering</p>
<p>I was in a similar situation as you. I had a low GPA but I was a Computer Science major. </p>
<p>Here’s how I did it: <a href=“Ivy League =?= Ivy League Career Potential/Experience? - Parents Forum - College Confidential Forums”>Ivy League =?= Ivy League Career Potential/Experience? - Parents Forum - College Confidential Forums;
<p>I did have a part time job while I was going to school as a software engineer for a very small defense contractor. I was able to get that gig while going to school because I had a security clearance due to my duty position in the Army National Guard.</p>
<p>Don’t mention GPA at all. Just list your skills, any completed projects, and past experience. I’ve found that even places who have a minimum GPA regularly ignore it or don’t enforce it. Plenty of internships where there aren’t GPA requirements also. </p>
