Old Rusty Pipe Wrote:The thing about it is, I actually have to maintain a good GPA. 3.5 to be precise. That seems to be the minimum GPA for most doctorate programs. I have seen lower, 3.3 comes to mind; but I want to keep all my options open. While my GPA is not the sole determining factor for my future school (whichever that may be), its important enough to warrant that extra effort. I'm just going to have to buckle down and plow through all this.
I definitely understand. I'm going through the same thing. I have to keep my GPA as high as it can possibly go (and not just what it says on my transcript as "TESC GPA" but what it would actually equate to with transfer credits, because Doctoral and Masters programs usually re-calculate GPA) and it's a strain. I want to be competitive, because I'm about 75% sure I'll end up doing a PhD and I don't want it to come back to haunt me hilarious
Add to that the strain of a newborn, a stressful job that I just went back to this week from maternity leave, and I'm ready to crack too.
I'm done!
