I just graduated recently and still deciding on what I should do. My GPA isn't great at all and I was thinking of doing masters/smp/graduate certificate. I know how masters and SMP can be expensive and I have more of a budget for graduate certificate so I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this? I found something of interested for medical neuroscience.
My GPA isn't great at all as I said. I'm embarrassed actually. I knew I could have done better. I have somewhat of an upward trend, but I know it isn't enough. I dedicated way too much time to my ec's and didn't create a good healthy balance. I honestly don't regret it in terms of the impact and the enjoyment I felt, but I know I could have established a better job at time managing. I have 1000+ hours of volunteer (including hospital + working with kids, 2 years of secretary, 1.5 VP), sorority for 2+ (held 4 positions). Still have yet to find shadowing opporunity, currently a research assistant for about a month now and I plan to stay for awhile because I actually found a project I'm genuinely interested. I think I can do well on the MCAT if I studied hard because I know my GPA isn't an accurate rep of who I am, but then again it's risky. Kind of considering different paths.. idk.. just need of exception guidance and advice right now.
