Hello, I’m new to this forum so I apologize if this sort of thing has already been covered. I am a history major and am currently entering my junior year at St.John’s University. I am very aware that my gpa is very low (at a 2.65), but I started college off with a 1.6 and have put in decent effort over the past 3 semesters to try and work on my average. However, I am very committed to getting my Phd in African History and am willing to put in hard hours to make this happen. My school offers a 5 year combined BA/MA program, and I am know that I can get into this, but I am wary of the price and would rather see if it is possible to make my goal happen without having to go that route. Does anyone have any advice? As a side note, I have very good research and presentation skills which correlate highly with my discipline.
