I'm applying to the SMU general M.Ed program. I'm a Dallas resident, and this program in particular has a good rep in the area. I'm worried I may not get in due to my GPA.
Profile/
GPA: 2.78 (B.S. in Economics)
One of my parents had cancer, and I was responsible for getting them to appointments. This caused me to miss tests that I was not allowed to make up, so my GPA suffered.
Experience: - Student financial advisor
-MLB team business operations intern
- Suburban school district instructional assistant (4th-5th grade) I designed an activity that was featured at a school board meeting.
-YMCA of Dallas Teen Mentor (assisted high school seniors with the college admissions process, also located $15K in grant money for low-income students)
- Started my own business
- Co-founded a $10K hedge fund, with all returns going towards urban high school students in the form of a scholarship.
GRE is not required.
