<p>Understandable. So what is the difference between a 3.4 GPA and a 3.5+ GPA? Does research/leadership ability not matter as much as my GPA? I’d think a 3.3-3.4+ GPA would be suffice considering what I had to go through… Plus I will have a superb background in mathematics when I apply to these schools with research in the area & maybe even a publication. I find it hard to believe this wouldn’t be some sort of consideration.</p>
