  1. You have a good shot at a MA at American. I was told you need like a 3.3GPA minimum But you do realize that all of these programs are going to be ATLEAST 40k all in right? thats a lot of debt...I just met with one of my recommenders yesterday and she went to GTown because it was one of the best programs in her field and told me not to do that. PhD or Bust
  2. Hey, so I am new here and new to graduate school in general. I though undergrad was ok...it was pretty tough (I was an economics major) and so I took a year off and did some research. Now I am in a Masters in Marketing program and while alot of the classes overlap with the MBA, etc, these classes are alot harder than what I thought they would be. They all have open book tests, etc...but the amount of thought and analysis that goes into them is deeper than what I expected. Also, knowing that if I dont have a 3.0 GPA I will be thrown out is stressful too.. I try to tell my family about it, but they dont get it. I am the 1st in my family to go beyond a BS. I try to tell my friends, they dont get it (still in UG), I have no one to talk to and I am stressing out and alone. I mean its been two weeks, I hope the typical "grad school depression" is not setting in..Also, The school I am going to is good, but it is no Harvard or Yale, so unless I have EXCELLENT grades, I will end up in a "average joe" corporation...and if i ever decide to go for a PhD in Management/Marketing....i need to have EXCELLENT grades, since my UG gpa is a 3.2 and I do not do well on standardized tests...so my grades are the only thing I have to speak for me. And again, I have no one to talk to... Is anyone else in my situation? Anyone have any inspiring words? Stories? Anything? Please Help.
