<p>Is a 3.7 a competitive gpa for Spanish, Hispanic studies at ivy grad schools? I have a 3.95 Spanish gpa. Although I have an F (Biology, retaken with a C+) and a D and several C's. Lowest grade is Spanish is B+. Anyone?</p>
<p>Probably. Your best bet is to ask your current professors (i.e the ones you're getting LORs from) - they will know what the recent trends are.</p>
<p>As you will soon learn by reading the various threads here, graduate admissions are not ruled by the numbers like undergrad is. Your SOP, LORs and writing sample will all be more important as is the nebulous concept of "fit".</p>
<p>So again, get with your professors - they know what's happening in the field and can give you solid advice on where your should be applying. Don't assume that "the ivies" (or any other grouping) are necessarily the best places for any given specialty.</p>
<p>Why do you just want to go to a university based on what athletic league it belongs to?</p>
<p>Don't pick a graduate school just because it's an 'Ivy.' Many times there are better departments at other less 'prestigious' universities that carry just as much, if not more, respect (btw, I do happen to go to an Ivy, so this isn't bitter grapes!).</p>
<p>That said, if a particular university that happens to be in the Ivy League has exactly what you want, go for it.</p>
