Hi everyone,
I recently graduated with an undergrad degree in Writing, but am giving serious thoughts to pursuing my long-standing interest in Sociology. On top of my undergrad background being completely unrelated, I also do not have an exceptional GPA (3.02), so I feel like I stand at a great disadvantage moving forward. Hence, I'm looking to apply to a few Masters programs as a stepping stone to a potential academic career path and would love to know if you guys think I stand a chance to get into a decent Masters program with my background. As long as it's a reasonably priced program, my parents would be willing to sponsor me. I know a few programs still have not passed their deadlines, so I was wondering if I could get some insight on whether applying this year or the next would be a better option for me. I haven't yet taken the GRE, but plan to do so ASAP. Any advice on how to proceed forward would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!
