I'm contemplating about applying to MIT for a graduate certificate program. The main problem is that they require your college transcripts during the application process, and well, my undergrad GPA is nothing short of abysmal (like 2.83). Though, my undergrad degree is in a different field from my grad degree, and my grad GPA is almost a 3.8 last I checked. So, who knows what my chances are of getting in. You would think they'd weigh a grad GPA higher than an undergrad GPA, especially given that the undergrad degree is in an "irrelevant" field, or so to speak, but I'm certain there will be other applicants who have both excellent undergrad and grad GPAs. idk. Plus, there are probably PhD students who are applying to it, too.

I don't think most graduate certificates are worth much in my field, but certificates from MIT seem to be valued for some reason. Plus, putting aside the fact the program is hosted by MIT, the material seems to be incredibly useful and interesting. I'd like to enroll in the program and learn what they have to offer. I'd even try to get my company to pay for it, if they'd be willing.
