I would like to fulfill my dreams of going to a first tier, top 40 graduate program but I am not sure that I would meet the necessary qualifications. Here are my stats...
- Bachelor's degree in Communications, Spanish and Bilingual Journalism (triple major)
- 3.4 GPA
- One semester of study abroad in Spain
- 3 internships: worked on the Obama campaign, wrote for a local travel magazine and worked in the marketing department of a small company
- Extracurricular activities = school newspaper and television program
- Dean's List 4 out of 8 semesters, and most likely 5 out of 9 after this semesters ends
What are my chances and/or likelihood that I could get into a really good grad program? Here are the degrees I am considering: MBA, JD, MA/MS in Communications/Journalism or EdM. For those who don't know MBA = Master of Business Administration, JD = Juris Doctor (aka Law degree), MA in Comm/Journalism = Master of Arts in Communications or Journalism, MS in Comm/Journalism = Master of Science in Communications or Journalism, EdM = Master of Education.
I have not yet taken the GMAT, LSAT or GRE because I want to wait until I decide on a degree. But I expect to do fairly well, like a "B" range. I took the ACT when I was 17 or 18 and got a score of 25 if that is any measure of my intelligence, though I feel I am now at 23 years old much more intellectual and better at taking exams.
Which graduate school and program would you recommend for me?
