Looking for advice (econ)

Graduate School
1

<p>I just graduated from UC Davis, with a subpar GPA of 3.0, and want to give try and attend graduate school (masters)</p>

<p>What is the best way for me to approach this, right now, given my current grades, and lack of LoR-- even a low tier grad school is out of reach</p>

<p>So far my plan is to take courses at UCI upper (division math and some econ courses to get some LoRs), do well and apply-- but I'm having second doubts if this will help me (I've asked my adviser and emailed other advisers at other schools and they too aren't sure)</p>

<p>Has anyone been in my situation??? What's the best way I should approach my situation?</p>

<p>UC Davis is a strong school and there’s no reason you can’t get into a graduate program somewhere. I have a 3.0 from the University of Idaho and was accepted to several top programs in my chosen field.</p>

<p>You should be trying to build connections for research internships - that seems to be the big gap in your application.</p>

<p>How much Math have you taken? Doing well on more Math may be more important than doing well on more Econ.</p>
