<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>For top 10 grad programs in musicology, will they be looking at applicants GPA's as particularly important factors? I'm not worried about other aspects of my application, but my GPA has gone way up since first year, but my first year grades still are bringing down my overal GPA. </p>
<p>First year I had 3.42 overall, second year I had 3.61, and third year I had 3.72. My overall GPA becomes 3.54 and in my major it's a 3.62. I'm at UChicago by the way. </p>
<p>Should I be worried about this? My first choices for grad school are really Columbia and Stanford, but I don't know if they will be feasible.</p>
