Bad grades freshman year?

Grad schools usually require a minimum of a 3.0 GPA to apply, but depending on the field they might expect a much higher GPA. Your TA should have kept all of your work; I still have stuff students turned in years ago in my office. Go ask her. But you should have tried to sort this out a lot earlier. Worst case scenario, you get an F and have to retake the cl next year so it doesn't drag down your GPA. And start working harder in your cles to pull up your GPA - grad schools don't want lazy students. Grad school is a lot more work than college.
