How do admissions committees view professional experience? I'm planning on applying to art history and some interdisciplinary (UC CST) programs next year and am wondering how my experience will affect my application. I've worked as a research assistant at a top museum, an editorial associate at a scholarly press, and am now working as an assistant director of one of the interdisciplinary academic centers at a university. I earned an MA from this university and it is one of my top choices. The academic fellows at the center (full professors at the university) have also told me that they would write me a LoR when I decided to apply.
I was hoping that my professional experience and MA (GPA: 3.9) would make up for my GPA from undergrad (3.5), but have heard conflicting opinions.
