Seeking Grad School Admissions Info

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi,
I am currently an undergrad Civil Engineering major at Georgia Tech. I'll be graduating in May and have been looking at grad schools but can't find much on admissions requirements. I will be graduating with anywhere from a 2.95-3.1 GPA depending on how these next two semesters go. I have one year of structural engineering research for course credit under my belt and will be doing more research this next year for pay. I am taking the FE in October and also plan on taking the GRE this fall, in case I have to take a second chance on either exam in the spring. I know the admission requirements for Georgia Tech but was curious about other top Civil Engineering school requirements.</p>

<p>Top School Choices:
Georgia Tech
Columbia
Cornell
Stanford</p>

<p>Also seeking admissions info (GPA, GRE scores, etc.) on University of Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Any help is appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>In my experience, your chances for these school are extremely slim, even with highest GRE scores. Your GPA is simply too low.</p>

<p>There is no way to reliably predict your chances, especially since you only listed your GPA. For all we know, you’re a Noble prize laureate or have 3 publications or whatever. Just apply and see what happens. I am fairly certain that Georgia Tech is known for tight grading standards (which is often known around here as “grade deflation.”).</p>
