At Mason I spoke to professors to ask them specific research related questions and about advisors taking on students, other colleges I’ve just kind of been in contact with an assistant dean or a coordinator to get my name out there.

All I have done is talk to some professors and the graduate coordinator at Mason, American and UMD. Mason and American have both been awesome so far, UMD said to get back to them closer to September which is understandable as well.

Let me know how your UMD apps go, that’s one of my top choices.

Yes! Applying to George Mason, Maryland, American and SUNY-ALBANY! Edit: and possibly Northeastern

Thank you! This is extremely helpful and consistent with some other people in my (our) situation. I have great recs from my undergrad and grad professors, I’ll make contact with some professors in my prospective programs, write a killer SOP and keep up my GPA in grad and hope ill be fine!

Looking at Maryland, Northeastern, Albany, American, Delaware and Mason!

Hey all! Was just wondering what people have experienced applying to PhD programs with a pretty bad undergrad GPA. Some of the graduate coordinators I’ve talked to have kind of brushed it off and said not to worry and some have seemed more concerned about it. Little background: Been out of undergrad for about 5 years and will finish my masters with around a 3.8. Thanks!
