<p>Alright, so I am freaking out right now. I am an Economics major with a math minor. My GPA for economics is a 3.8 and I just got my grade for Linear after finals. I received a C for my final grade, and I still have my Calc II final on Friday. I am President of Omicron Delta Epsilon, one published paper and awaiting another that will probably be published this spring, and I was a 2008 Junior Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences. </p>
<p>So here is my issue. My GPA overall is a 3.2. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I first came into graduate school. I was told last week by a friend who is currently in the "real world" and she is telling me that one C in any of my math classes in my math minor will keep me from being accepted to graduate school. I really need some help, and someone to at least tell me the real deal. I don't like theory math. I am a more, "this is what it does, this is why it does it, and here is how you can use it/manipulate it to work for this area." I have always had that trouble visualizing the math if no one explains to me what it can be used for. For example: We had sections in our Linear book that put some of the things into prospective (such as the Markov Chain) and I understood that, but our professor skipped them. Is this common with most math until graduate school? Should I just quit now and start looking for a job? Please help!</p>
