I’m worried about whether or not I will get into the upper year management program, do you know any people who got into it with moderate gpa’s? My GPA is currently 2.5 and I don’t know if that’s enough. Also, what happens if you don’t get in? Can you retry by just essentially doing your first year again?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
today on, ‘hey, what campus are you from?’ aska makes a WILD GUESS that you’re in utm management. if you’re NOT in utm management, then, well, you should’ve told me that.<\/p>\n
utm’s department of management website<\/a> doesn’t make any specific statements about what GPA you need to be competitive – mostly because, like with most things in life, it all depends on how good everyone else is, and not so much on how good you are.<\/p>\n i don’t know if a 2.5 will be enough. you can talk to a management advisor <\/a>and your registrar<\/a> about it – honestly, i think it would be smart of you to come up with a back-up POSt or two, in case it doesn’t work out this year. management’s pretty competitive, and while i have a firm no-admission-prediction policy, a 2.5 is not great<\/em>, for such a competitive program.<\/p>\n you should be able to repeat all<\/a> three<\/a> prerequisite courses if you didn’t get a 63% in any of them – they’ll just appear as extras on your transcript next year. however, i would definitely<\/em> recommend you discuss this option with your registrar before taking it.<\/p>\n cheers,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m worried about whether or not I will get into the upper year management program, do you know any people who got into it with moderate gpa’s?
