I graduated from one of the top engineering schools in the US and received A's and B's from all my non-engineering courses (required breadth classes such as business, economics, statistics, and English). However, my engineering grades weren't the best since the competition from my peers were intense and dropped my GPA to just sub-3.0. Will this take me out of consideration for being accepted into EPIK?

Thanks in advance,
Aaron

I've read a bunch of threads on here about GPA (there is a search option Shocked ). It might take you out of the running for SMOE, but other than that you are fine.

In a nutshell, NO.
