First off, thanks for the insight! I didn’t realize how behavorial finance could align with my interests.

Assuming I pursue a PhD in that, do you see any issues with my GPA (and/or Major GPA) that I should address? By that, I mean, might it be an issue that my GPAs are where they are, or that I’m needing to retake some upper level classes - and if so, can you suggest how I might deal with it to remain a competitive candidate?

And I’m interested in a MAT because I want to teach Math at the high school level (I am a substitute HS teacher now, and definitely want to continue, soon or later in life). With an MAT in Math, I’d plan to do maintain a 3.75+ Graduate GPA and use it when applying to PhD programs to make up for my undergrad GPA & that I could take more math courses & paying for the extra courses might be easier (via math ed scholarships & loan forgiveness program). What do you think of this route?

Thank you again!
