Were there extenuating circumstances that contributed to the 2.8? An upward trend? Anything...?
I did work part-time as well with some of my internships but mostly just had a hard time adjusting because I had a very easy time getting straight A's in high school. No massive trend but did do a little better my last two years ~3.0.
That being said, a 2.8 in my program was not particularly low. They never published class rank but the average GPA across the entire university was a 3.04. In the engineering school deans list was consistently around 3.3 and a 3.2 at graduation would get you Cum Laude. I don't know how far that gets me without published class rank or class average on my transcript but a 2.8 was definitely not the bottom of the class.
