Hi All! I am looking to study in the UK, but I'm afraid my current GPA is too low for most unis. I have a 2.9, mostly due to my last two semesters of college, I had gotten married, was working a full-time job and had bought a house - life became more important than school. Now though, I feel like I'm going to pay the price as far as finding the type of program I want. I was in Mass Communications in undergrad at a small, but challenging university with a small association to a better known university. I have focused so much on writing since I graduated (four years ago) that I'd like to pursue a Masters in Creative Writing and then a perhaps a Phd. I know that my work experience would help compensate for my low GPA. I worked as a copywriter for two years. I became a freelancer writer right at a year ago, in that time I've had work published in Huffington Post and Entrepreneur (As a ghostwriter for a marketing personality), am a published contributor to a newly released book, and am working with a film company to novelize a screenplay. Bottom line is that I know that I can write, but how do I communicate a strong plea to universities? Especially to those in the UK? Anyone in a similar situation have some positive results with their applications?
