Can I get into Grad School?

Graduate School
1

<p>I have ~3.05 GPA. I'm an environemntal science major a raising senior. I did really bad my first semster, but steadily got better. I did really good my sophmore year, but I hit a pretty bad slump my junior year. I actually did better my second semester jr than my grades suggest. Its just that I had so much to do my last four weeks of the semester, and I had 4 exams (3 of them my hardest) on back to back days. I was so burnt out by my last, and suppose to be easiest, that I'm sure I got a ~10% on it (french existentialism). I'm so ****ed off about that class becasue I had a perfect A on the midterm and class paper. That exam was so easy that should have had my first perfect A (no minuses) in college. My midterm grades looked extremely excellent that semester, but that doesn't count for anything.</p>

<p>Grad school in what field? Masters or PhD? How are your recommendations, research experience, GRE scores?</p>

<p>I don’t know in what field. I just want to make sure I can get into one, anyone. I would be getting a masters. I don’t know what my recommendations are like. So far, all my teachers have been one off, aside from calc 3 n diff eq, but that’s not my major and was freshman year. no reseach experience, I’m busy working and taking summer classes to catch up on my major. and no GRE. </p>

<p>i’m pretty sure i’m going to take at least a year off and go work and enjoy the money i’ll be making. i’ve been working so hard the last 3 years that i want to pull my hair out</p>

<p>Grad school is not like college – you need to have a very specific idea what you want to do before you apply. Since you cannot change the past, work on finishing up strong at Villanova. After graduation, take some time off to work and figure out what you want to do.</p>
