<p>I heard that the GPA cutoff for University of Michigan CS PhD (or possibly MS) is 3.5... Is this true?</p>
<p>Also, is it strategically a good idea to only apply for masters if I am not good enough for PhD? (I am currently a junior at UIUC projected to graduate next year with B.S. in CS with primary focus on databases.) My current gpa is around 3.45, and I've been scoring around 1400 on GRE practice exams.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
