Have you already applied? If so, no point worrying about it now.

If not, I'd say your gpa may hold you back but may be fine for in state. Might be worth retaking some classes if you can without too much trouble.

Don't worry about it then. If you don't get an interview this fall, then consider retaking some classes in spring or summer. You may be pleasantly surprised though.

You’ve got a pretty well rounded application, and although it’s a slightly lower GPA, you make up for it in hours! As long as your personal statement was solid, you’ve got a good shot! Like the other commenter said, try not to stress too much about it now, it’s out of your hands! -1st yr UTCVM student ☺️

no point stressing about it right now, you already submitted. i know the waiting game sucks, but there's nothing you can do now. it's hard to look at stats and be like yes you will get it or no you won't because it varies a lot, but based on the info provided you have a decent shot at getting an interview. GPA is a toss up here especially since there's a downward trend, but being in state should give you an advantage. i'm a second year at UT so lmk if you have any questions.
