UnderAchiever4

Hi - y'all are all extremely impressive! Congrats to everyone who's gotten in and those who've gotten scholarships!!! ?? Wondering if anyone here applied with a GPA under 3.0? I dropped out of undergrad and took all F's a few times and my grades in general are pretty variable. In undergrad I worked full-time off-campus and never anticipated grad school so just did what I needed to graduate. Very different phase of my life now, but concerned unless i go to a community college I wont get in anywhere. I have 5 years of high-level management in sports consulting for a company in NYC but pivoted in 2018 and ended up doing a year of AmeriCorps at an elementary school. The beginning of this year I worked at the school in a SPED program for kids with social emotional challenges... Anyways, my GPA is like a 2.6 in Communication from a Wisco state school so as I'm reading all your strong candidacies I'm feeling a little alien here. But I'm applying to some top 20 schools and wanted to put this post out there in case there anyone like me thinking - who are these extremely successful people and are all applicants like this!?! - hahahah Just wanted to be candid as a non-traditional applicant and give a slightly different perspective here Congrats again and good luck to all!
