Hi everyone,
I'm going into my senior of college and I don't have the best GPA. I'm a global health major and economics minor. It was on the rise from freshman year, where I was going through quite a transition. My fall semester (junior year) I had a 3.5 and my overall GPA was a 3.1. However, my spring semester was incredibly rough, because I dealt with the passing of two close relatives during both midterms and finals week and other issues as well. As a result, my GPA has suffered. Now it's approximately a 2.9.
I worked the past three years as a tutor for children. The previous summer I interned at WIC. This summer I am doing research with a professor and will likely be published for my work. I am also incredibly involved in service and various clubs on campus.
How can I ensure I have a strong application that helps to surpass my GPA?
I am beginning to study for the GRE that I will take in the fall. Does any one have any advice?
(I'm really looking to go to school in Philadelphia, if that's relevant.)
