My interviewer for EPIK mentioned my GPA... my GPA is good, but just saying... they mentioned it, so it probably has some impact on acceptance for public schools.

What was your major? Your undergrad degree can often limit you less than your GPA will if you ever have the desire to go back to school in the future. A 3.8 could be very helpful depending on that notion. Korea doesn't care, that's for sure, and most people here probably averaged well below a 3.0. So at least some of that pride and desire to achieve should be worthwhile if you decide to take full advantage of it.

That's the problem.

Double major. History and Geography. Very Happy Minor in Poli sci.

Not really complaining. I knew going in it wasn't a Petroleum engineering degree. I did what I liked. Could I have forced a science degree? Probably. Would I be good at it? Probably not.
