Here's my dilemma...
I am currently exploring my options for further graduate study. I have a BA in English from UGA with a 2.7 GPA. I had over 200 credit hours and explored far too many fields (Classics, Philosophy, English, History, etc.). My GPA was much higher in the early years than towards the end. My English GPA was 3.0 with 48 hours...Most of my poor grades resulted from foreign language classes (I failed Attic Greek twice due to stubborness) and one really bad semester when I was dealing with some personal issues. I was forced to work full-time for most of my undergrad years and it contributed to my low undergrad GPA.
I have since completed a masters in Secondary English Education with a 3.9 GPA. My verbal GRE scores were 95th percentile and I plan on retaking the GRE in order to up my math and essay scores.
I'm not getting any younger...Is it feasible to apply for programs with this background? Is it better to apply to a small regional MA program before attempting better schools (by better I mean Georgia State, University of Tennessee level). Thanks for your advice...
