Hello, I am new to the forum but am very glad I found it because it appears extremely helpful.
I started undergrad as a Pre-Med (Biology) major and did this for three semesters while also competing in athletics. My grades were poor (2.75) due to the challenging science courses and my complete lack of motivation. Since then, I switched to Finance and have a maintained a 3.75 or higher but my cumulative is still stuck around 3.2. I am hoping by the end of this semester and next (I graduate next Fall) I can pull my cumulative to at least a 3.45 assuming I get a 4.0 for these last two semesters.
My question: Will this be taken into consideration by the programs I apply to. A cumulative 3.45 is not glamorous but my grades are clearly on an uphill swing. What do you guys think I should? pay to take more classes this summer to get A's and boost my GPA? Explain the situation to the programs? I am aware I will also need to knock the GMAT out of the park with a 700.
