kellyt34 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I want to go to NYU to study food studies in their masters program, my undergrad GPA is poor Overall: 2.6 Classes Related to Field: 3.2 Is there any way I will get in, I have been out of college for 2 years and in that time have attended a culinary certificate program, travelled Europe learning about food culture, worked as a line cook, worked in media and event planning and owned a personal chef business. I am completely obsessed with food and agriculture and believe I would be a great fit for the program (my low GPA is mainly due to disinterest during college and a surgery my last year) but am worried there is just no way with my GPA... what should I do?

juilletmercredi Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 One way to boost your application would be to take some graduate classes in food studies as a non-degree student. If you get As in your master's level classes, you will prove that you are capable of graduate level work in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ||| Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Though if you do as juillet advises, make sure that where you apply, they will consider thoes grades. Some schools will only look at the courses you took while pursuing your degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
