I have a adult learner in some of my classes that is an engineering major. He had to take every math offered beginning at math 004 up through algebra trig and finally calc. I'm pretty sure he just took all of his gen eds and remediation classes and then applied to the engineering major. It...

Yeah that probably would be a good idea. Perhaps I'll stay for that spring semester and just take some engineering classes as I will only need something like twenty or thirty extra credits to get a degree in that. Then that could be plan c if I don't get into a grad program(plan a) or find a...

I should have clarified that earlier actually. I do plan to just go for a masters and not a phd at least in the beginning. The thing is in the geoscience field and the meteo field it seems like most of the job openings I've seen would prefer a masters degree. And again I really appreciate...

It's not harsh. That is pretty much the type of response I was expecting to get. I've done a lot of research on different schools and what it takes but that may not always be the way the "real world" works. Also considered staying for the spring 12 semester but but you're assuming I'm...

Thank you all. I looked up rankings and saw that psu was quite high on the list for both meteo and geoscience. I will have two letters of rec from alumni from there so perhaps that will be to my advantage. The 3.0 gpa cutoff is what I'm worried about the most. I saw some schools only calculate...

That's good news. I will get good grades from here on out. Like I said it wasn't that fact that I couldn't do it but mainly that I would never go to classes. Also a family medical emergency didn't help things. I'm hoping that being in the more advanced classes and doing well will also help...

Thank you. It wasn't that couldn't do the work but rather chose not too and had some other crazy stuff goin on. I have had one prof already offer to write me an lor and I think I would be able to get at least two more strong letters. I've heard letters of rec are perhaps the biggest thing grad...

Hello, I'm hoping to receive some advice on boosting my chances to get into grad school. I'm planning on apply for either geophysics or atmospheric sciences. I'll explain a bit more but In addition to any advice I'd also like to know if it would even be feasible for me to apply. Currently...

I'm currently a senior majoring in Earth science with a minor in geophysics. You'll most likely have to take at least calc I and II if not more. At my school those are technically the only two you need for the major but you have to have a minor, and all of the available minors that would...
