Many programs are very competitive.
There's no guarantee that you will get into the exact program at the exact university that you want. Obviously, the higher your GPA the better your chances of getting in. Very competitive programs may look for GPAs at 3.5 or higher. Less competitive programs may accept 3.O or a bit lower. Many graduate schools weigh letters very highly.
