Later, I went completed Bachelors; BS in Bus. Admin. W/ cgpa: 3.15
I completed an MBA (general business) with 3.5 gpa (Got a C+ in Managerial Finance). @ same Private College in May 2004
HBCU (State School): Complete MPA (professional accountancy) with a 3.091 (grad gpa) with 2.75 ugpa for prerequistes = 3.08 cumulative accounting gpa. I'm a URM which in part explains the HBCU degree. Recently completed in May 2010
I took two educational graduate degree courses: received an A and B before completing MPA which brought up cgpa for degree to a 3.15 gpa.
Currently, I was just been accepted to MAT to complete two additional graduate classes for 5 year teaching license--completion not necessary for permanent license. Presently, I'm studying for the CPA exam as well. I hate starting something and not finishing it.
However, my grades are not stellar because I had a great deal of anxiety that I managed through self-treatment and in which one session with a social worker helped me to get over it.
I know now to just be productive and stay on time and maintain consistency with that productivity to get those A's. If I could have gotten help with my issues a while ago, I would have had the confidence to pursue something as rigorous as medical school earlier. I've just turned 33 years old, so I'm no spring chicken.
SGPA: 2.62
cGPA for all college work: 3.21
cGPA for all college work: 3.21
I have about 238 college credits at this point. Is there any hope for me?
Mississippi doesn't have a formal post-baccaulaureate program, but it does have a daytime SMP, which will present obstacles for me to attend.
I've figured out how to get A's now, so that helps; for me, this means doing the work early and completing whatever is thrown at me early. Also, it means getting feedback early. My procrastination caused by self-doubt and anxiety (according to Social Worker) is what caused this, for which I concur.
