The interview panel wants to hear if you are satisfied with your current GPA or if you would change it if you could. Talk to the interviewers about your undergrad experience.
If you were satisfied with your GPA: 'I graduated top of my class and am very proud of my accomplishments during my undergraduate studies. The experience taught me to study hard and set attainable goals for myself.'
If you were not satisfied with your GPA: 'I feel that my GPA could have been higher; however, I was working full time while attending classes. All in all, I did learn a lot about discipline and commitment.'

"My current GPA of 3.9 is a fair reflection of my above-average ability in pre-med coursework. You will see that my basic science GPA is even higher than my overall GPA, which is suggestive of my abilities within this field."

At Texas Tech University, they care more about you receiving a letter grade of a C or better in your prerequisite classes. However, the interview panel may ask about your current GPA to determine what type of student you will be. Either way, be prepared to tell them your GPA or if you received a C or better in your prerequisite classes.
