Why did Obama have such a low GPA?

Actually, he only had a low GPA at Occidental College, where by his own admission, he was unfocused, still involved in hanging with his friends, and not entirely sure what he wanted to do in life. But at some point, he decided to commit himself to studying and he transferred to Columbia University. From that time on, all available evidence says his grades went up, and some of his professors there remember him as an "A" student. And we also know that he graduated from Harvard with academic honors, in the top 10% of his class, so we cannot say he had a low GPA.

Does FIDM have a GPA requirement?

Not really BUT you can't have a super low GPA either. I have heard of people who've had a reason why their GPA was low and really shined in their entrance interview and put 110% into their entrance project and essay too. So I say if you have a low GPA, don't let that scare you from applying because after all, you don't try, you'll never know.
