Remembering the time someone here told me it would be hard for me to get into grad school

I was admitted to CSUF's Masters's Program, which is like a dream come true.

As a post bacc student, I worked really hard for 2 years to get a good GPA and build my application.

At the beginning of my post bacc, I asked a girl on this forum who got accepted to CSUF's MA program at the time about some information. 

I remember telling her I was concerned because my undergrad GPA was not high (only a 3.2). But I wasn't sure if my undergrad GPA would count towards the application process because it was in an unrelated major. I just wanted to ask her for advice. 

I remember her tone being full of herself, and she said something like "No offense, but only the ones with good GPAs get in." She said it in a way that was very belittling when all I asked her was information since she had gotten into the program. The entire conversation was very unhelpful and unpleasant. She seemed like the typical white blondie/brunette so full of herself. She discouraged me so much during that time I always felt sad and felt like I wouldn't get in. 

Well, guess what! I got into the program with a high post bacc gpa! 

With acceptance coming around, she is engraved into my memory lol... 

Hope she learned to be more humble

Congratulations on getting in! So sorry you had that experience. Sounds like she didn't really have a picture of how admissions work with speech pathology. There really are so many variables other than undergraduate GPA.
