If you can raise your 2.7 GPA by at least a few points you\u2019ll be much more likely to gain admission to the graduate school of your choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:

how they recommend you raise your grades.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Study First: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students have so much on their
