I’m probably going to be graduating with a 2.6.-2.8 overall GPA. I don’t have any previous experience, but I interviewed for an RA position recently and i’m waiting to hear back from them. They offer further opportunities for presentations so i’m really hoping I do get it. Other than that I don’t have anything.
I’m planning on taking some time off from school just to gain more experience. I’m going to be volunteering and applying for research positions. I figured out what I wanted to do very late into college and I had some personal struggles for my middle two years where I really wasn’t doing well academically.
I wanted to do clinical psychology but that looks to be impossible now so I was thinking of getting into LPC and getting my masters. I don’t see any way I would be able to get into a PhD program with my GPA. Maybe if I get more experience, it would help me get into a masters program.
I’m not sure what else I can do. I’m a first-generation student from Texas A&M and I don’t have many connections to help my situation. I’m starting to feel very low morally because I feel like I completely wasted this opportunity. I went to a pretty good school and didn’t come out with anything. I feel lost and overwhelmed with what’s ahead.
