<p>I posted this yesterday in the “Transfer Students” forum. I was politely told to make my way over to the general forum. So, here I am.</p>
<p>
Well, I’m about to graduate with a B.A. in Underwater Basket Weaving from. Yeah, yeah, I know - I should have majored in something legit. I didn’t. It’s my fault. I did have fun, though. And I tried five majors in five years. W00t!</p>
<p>My GPA did not appreciate the five major/five year approach. It sucks. We’re talking ~3.25-3.3 depending on how the math wizards at the College figure out the final score.</p>
<p>Boo hoo for me.</p>
<p>I have no job prospects. At all. Save for perhaps the McDonald’s. I’m not psyched about that possibility and neither are my parents who fronted my B.A. UBW (my acronym, you can steal it though - I’m cool like that).</p>
<p>So…uh…yeah…anyone know of a good graduate program? By good, I mean one that won’t mind a five year planner with an awesomely mediocre GPA applying in mid-February.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t mind giving Electrical Engineering another shot - you know, this time without staying up all night and sauntering in to class and lab every second week or so.</p>
<p>Please save me from the coffee shop job that I’m fated for!
</p>
<p>Have you taken the GRE? Doing well on that could help show improvement from a 3.3</p>

<p>Right on, right on. I have not taken the GRE or any of the other graduate entrance exams. I should probably do this, I know.</p>
<p>I also have the option to take a “gap year” and do some traveling. My parents are pretty cool so they’ll support me regardless of what I choose to do.</p>
<p>Or I could register for individual classes somewhere not in a degree program.</p>
<p>Anyone have experience doing that?</p>
