There is no clear-cut minimum undergraduate GPA required for graduate school coursework to be considered. Each application is review holistically, taking into consideration the applicant's background and life experiences. Applicants with a BCPM GPA <3.2 are considered to be at high risk for failing academically. This can be overcome by an excellent post-bacc or graduate school GPA.
