Hi everyone! Congrats to you all who have already been accepted and made your decisions. I'm wondering if you folks think I have a chance at getting a spot at Goucher this late in the game.
I didn't fully decide I wanted to do a post bac until December/January, and even then I was focused much more on part-time opportunities that would let me work at the same time. I currently live in Boston, so my first love was Harvard Extension. However, by early February I had reached the conclusion that I actually wanted to do a full-time post bac somewhere so I could dedicate myself to the coursework. I've applied to Harvard Extension, Columbia, Georgetown, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, and UPenn. So far, I've been accepted to Georgetown and haven't heard from anyone else.
If I throw in an app for Goucher today is it too late? They say the program usually fills during March, but the applications are still open. I haven't submitted any other apps through PostbacCAs, so I have to wait to be verified. The program appeals to me so much at Goucher and I waited way too long to seriously consider it.
For reference, I had cGPA 3.8, sGPA 4.0 (I took literally one math class). Not much direct volunteer experience because I made this decision during COVID, but I've been working full time in disability advocacy for a year and have tons of volunteer experience in pre-school literacy, as well as having lived abroad as an ESL teacher in a developing country. Do I have a shot?
