But the GPA is only a 2.86. entering senior year. I should mention that he's 24. I dont think hes interested in graduate programs at this point.

he has a chance, have good rec letters, and an upward trend in grades will help a lot.

first of all, this actually is a "friend"

second, i don't think theres anything wrong with getting perspectives on different scenarios. its how we learn.

but i applaud you for wasting your time searching for and posting meaningless answers.

hats off :D

the only way to know your chances is to apply, no one on here can give you a definitive answer.........and posting a "friends" stats behind their backs is not very ethical :shock:
