Hello all I am brand new here but I have seen some pretty helpful information just from google searches so I thought I would pose my own question. I am currently finishing up my bachelors degree in occupational safety and health from waldorf university. Yet my dream is to earn my masters degree in emergency management from Georgetown but I am not sure I am Georgetown material. So maybe you guys can help me before I get my bubble busted.
I have a current gpa of 3.0 or over in my bachelors degree. Which is super difficult with my rotating 12 hour shift schedule and married with two young kids. I am currently a volunteer fire fighter in our city, also an industrial fire fighter at the large refinery/chemical complex. I am part of what is called “Panhandle Regional Planning Commission” which is an emergency preparedness organization for where I live, the Panhandle of Texas. I have had years of TEEX training in different aspects from exterior and interior fire brigade to tons of Hazmat training at their Texas AM facility. I was a certified EMT for a while but gave it up due to kids and family. I have led safety during what is called a “turnaround” at our facility. Its where you take the entire plant down and fix what needs to be fixed and bring it back up.
I am just not confident in myself getting in so help me out.
