I plan on graduating with an undergrad in Dec. My grade point average has been all over the place. Are there any schools that will take people with a grade point average that is 2.0-25, but do really well on the GRE or write some good essays, or will they only take people who are 3.0 and above? Maybe I should try and get a second bachelors degree to pull up my grades a little.

I don't know what program you're applying to, but most grad programs insist that you maintain a 3.0 minimum in grad school to stay in the program. Grad classes are much more demanding than undergrad; a lower gpa will make them think you're not capable of cutting it in grad school.

You'll get into graduate programs, but don't set your sights too high. You're going to be limited by that GPA. If I were you, I'd focus on bringing up that GPA this semester, kicking the GRE's ***, and then graduating at the top of whatever program you can get accepted into. Remember, finishing in the top 10% of any program is better than finishing in the bottom 10% of a good program. Good luck!

Forget about grad school., think about the JOB...my employer didn't even look at applications with a BA GPA of less than 3.6.
