After i was accepted, i dd very well carrying a 3.9 gpa overall for graduate work.

Talk to them, talk to professionals, study for GRE, do something. a 2.25 or so is a detriment when going for terminal type degrees, however, you may take some graduate courses and prove you are better than your grades reflect.

Goodluck, grad school is a whole different world
What Paq said. Good scores on standardized tests will help immensely with admissions. GRE, GMAT, LSAT, etc scores and/or professional experience are each revered by many grad schools.
