Will do, queller. I've spoken with the two professors who share my interests and they seem pretty nice. Maybe I'll go and ask them straight up if there are any opportunities.

Thanks guys! I asked my advisor if he knows of any research opportunities for undergrad. I'm supposed to meet with him on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll end up with something.

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I'm Ross, from the University of North Texas! Summary At End I'm currently a junior earning a B.S. in Geography. If my plan works out, I'll graduate December 2001. I want to go to grad school afterwards but have no idea where to start. I know that I need to take the GRE, find a school, write a SOP, get LoR's, and do a lot of finger-crossing. I feel like I should already be doing some of this (I plan on taking the GRE Asap) now, but don't know where to start. It feels overwhelming! As for the letters of recommendation,I haven't done a good job of getting to know my professors, so I am afraid the letters of recommendation will be a little difficult to come by. I'm trying to get to know them though. GRE - I am going to look at some study software when my next paycheck arrives. Do any of you have any recommendations? After doing a lot of browsing on this site, I've come to realize that I should probably start working on my SoP soon. How did you all go about starting on this? Now, the bad part about all of this is that I went through a bad phase a while back (I've been going through school slowly) and killed my GPA. It was below a 2.0 at one point, but after duplicating some courses it is now at a 2.48. I figured it up and it looks like I won't be able to bring it up to a 3.0, but can get it to around 2.9. How much will this hurt me? I know that some schools require a 3.0 for the last 60 hours, but I only have ~40 hours remaining. Thank you! The summary: -24 junior, working towards B.S. in Geography -I know the basics (GRE, SoP, LoR, etc..." -I'll graduate December 2011. What should I be doing now?
