I want to get an MS in Sport Management or Administration after graduating from Florida State this summer, but it’s very difficult for me to tell which kinds of schools are within reach for me, or which ones I should be realistically looking at. I just don’t know what they do or don’t accept.
My GPA is on the low side, but it comes with a VERY positive grade trend. It should finish at around 3.15 or 3.2. I would say that it has been over 3.5 every semester since the start of Junior year, and maybe 3.8 senior year. I’ve yet to take the GRE, but I’m a good test taker. (SAT was 2000).
I’ll have an International Affairs degree with a minor in Psychology. I’ll also have good job experience and will be spending the summer in London with FSU’s “Global Sport Management” international program. I’ll be taking at least one graduate course there. I think that shows good interest and commitment to grad programs.
So guys, what do you think my grad school prospects are? Can I overcome that GPA with grade trends and relevant/interesting experience? Thanks.
