Do grad schools look at work experience?
Most graduate schools take a holistic approach to applicants. Focus on your strengths but don’t neglect to address your weaknesses. Good work experience may offset a less-than-spectacular GPA.
Do grad schools care about GPA?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a precise answer because the exact GPA needed for grad school depends on the program you’re applying to. While some programs are OK with 2.5 or 3.0 GPAs, others balk at anything lower than a 3.5! Unlike undergrad admissions, it’s very common for grad schools to have specific GPA cutoffs.
Do grad schools care if you retake classes?

We have to obtain a minimum of 120 credits to receive a bachelor’s degree). Just because you get an F doesn’t mean you can’t finish. Some institutions have a D/F repeat rule, if you are under 60 credit hours you can take the class again and if you get a higher grade, it will override the F.
Is it OK to drop out of grad school?
Dropping out of grad school is not without consequence. Paying a percentage of your income for as many as 25 years just because of a decision to go to school obviously stinks, especially if you’re left without additional earning capacity. That said, the downside might be an acceptable cost to bear.
