Hello all, this is my first post on this website.
Anyway, I am a senior with only 9 months (and 10 classes) separating me from graduation. I am looking to move to California or Arizona where my friends already live and I would like to go to graduate school out there. I currently go to UT-San Antonio, and while it has been an ok experience, I certainly am done living in Texas I feel.
As for my background, I was one of those kids who after school just went to college because thats just what everyone else seemed to do. I attended Millersville University in Pennsylvania. I had no idea what I wanted to do and instead of studying and going to class, I partied 24/7 and had a fun time - much of which was at the expense of my grades.
After 5 semesters (and 5 withdrawn classes for no grade), my family decided to pull the plug on me financially for school. So I made the crazy decision to move to Texas and finish up school here. After going to community college for a semester and racking up good grades, I transferred to UTSA and enrolled in the Business school, since then I have gotten pretty good grades and I am on track to graduate this coming spring. I plan on taking the GRE and GMAT in September and I have been studying and reading up on them so I feel confident I can get a good score.
GPA:
UTSA (San Antonio, TX) ~ 3.31 (Business Major GPA: 3.67)
Cumulative GPA: 2.91 (All schools combined)
My GPA has also increased every semester since I have been in college since moving to Texas. Will that count for anything?
I have 10 classes to go, and I could very easily get a 3.00 GPA for my cumulative. I have already knocked out all of my ‘hard’ classes, and what I have left are my business electives.
Anyway I want to go for my MBA or a masters in Finance, and I am currently down to these schools. However, it is hard to get an idea of just how good my chances are just by reading each school’s class profile. Could you guys help me out? I will gladly give more information if needed.
