Hey everyone, I'm currently an Epidemiology MPH student who just finished up her first year. My last semester didn't go very well grade-wise because of some personal and mental health issues I had to clear up in the middle of the semester. I pulled some B's and C+'s, so I managed to pass, but my GPA is in a pretty rough state. I'm in a better state now, and will be in a better place to bring my grades up next semester. I've also had internship and practicum work beginning my first Fall semester and am working on two research projects currently in the summer. My plan to mitigate my bad semester is to keep getting more research experience that will lead to me being on some publications, and of course, to work to crack out A's in my remaining two semesters. Is there anything else current PhD's suggest to help mitigate this bad semester in my overall PhD application? Am I pretty much dead in the water as far as PhD programs go? Any advice would be greatly appreciated so I can plan my next semester accordingly. Thanks!
