My grades just came!
General Chem 2 A
Self Defense for Women A
College Algebra A-
International Politics A


I'm kinda bummed about the A-, b/c it dropped my cumulative GPA from 4.0 to 3.96, but that's life. I was lucky to do as well as I did, seeing as how 60% of the class outright failed...

2. I'm still a ways from there
Edited on Fri May-28-04 12:54 PM by bicentennial_baby
but eventually I hope to get my Masters in a PoliSci field of some kind, not sure yet where I want to focus. My two major interests are International Relations and Political Theory, but we'll see.

10. As I tell my students,
the time to start thinking VERY SERIOUSLY about grad school is EARLY junior year. (Your schedule looked like a Frosh layout, and if so you have some time. But.) The best programs have app deadlines as early as January senior year, so you should have selected your target schools by the beginning of your senior year -- which means doing the background inquiry and getting your direction junior year.

With your interests, consider Master of Public Policy degree programs. If you think you might want to go in that direction, sample courses in economics and stat -- the other two major components of most MPP programs.

3. Much Congrats...

I don't know what it is about College Algebra. I barely made a B in it way back when, but I made A's in other, more advanced math courses.

My ex, who is currently a mathematics professor, says her students tend to do worst in C. Algebra and Calc II.

8. Something of a mixed bag of subjects
I'm trying to think what it might qualify you for.

Chem, Self Defense and International Politics - watch out you aren't tapped to go hunt for WMD in Iraq!

PS. Congratulations!

9. Hehe
I was an Enviro. Science major, but then switched to PoliSci/International Studies. Self-Defense was mostly just for the credit, but definitely a useful skill to have!
