I graduated UG cum laude with advanced honors (I took a few graduate courses and a handful of upper level honors courses) & research honors (I completed an honors thesis). My institution GPA when I graduated was 3.58, but my cumulative GPA was 3.42 (I had transferred to the school, where I graduated from with a 3.22, which brought down my cumulative GPA). I know that 3.5 is often the 'magic number' that schools use to cut a large portion of applicants; I wanted to ask if anyone had an idea of which side of this cut I would fall on with my GPA.
I was 19 when I graduated and had taken 25 credit hours over each semester preceding my graduation (I was taking graduate & honors courses and made the dean's list both times). I started college at 16, which is one of the reasons my transfer GPA of 3.22 wasn't very stellar.
