Should I still apply to the Silver School of Social Work if my Undergraduate Grade Point Average (GPA) is below a 3.0?
Yes. We look at the quality of the entire application in addition to your GPA. If your GPA is weak, we encourage you to write about your undergraduate academic circumstances in your personal statement. Also, keep in mind that there may be other parts in your application that compensate for a weak GPA. Lastly, you might also consider taking courses as a non-matriculated (non-degree) student to display readiness for graduate work. You can also take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) to help compensate for a weak GPA. Although it is not required, it may be a way of showing academic promise.
