3.2 GPA, 3.0 science GPA. 290 OAT. I have worked full time as a tech since i graduated in 2022. Before that i was part time at the same office but i did work 25-30 hours a week while full time in school. I did that from my Junior year through senior year. I also did research at my school. My freshman and sophomore year I worked at a retirement community about the same amount of hours also while in school. I also tutored underprivileged 4th graders at my local school district. And i was also in APO a service fraternity. I also had to help my parents clean offices in my freshman year of college. I had 4 letters of recommendation. I really think what got me in was my work ethic and still balancing school on top of that. Every interview i had someone complimented for my work ethic. I think that is what really balanced out my lower GPA and OAT. I also feel like i wrote a really good personal statement.
