Please advise me on my future goals.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the decision to pursue a Master's in Mechanical Engineering after overcoming initial academic challenges, including failing Calculus 1. The individual has improved their performance, achieving all B's recently and aiming for all A's in upcoming terms. With a current GPA of 2.35 and 15 classes remaining, they seek advice on their chances of acceptance into a Master's program, especially with a strong finish and a good GRE score. The consensus suggests that a solid academic turnaround and GRE performance could lead to acceptance into a Master's program, and pursuing a Professional Engineer (P.E.) license is deemed unnecessary at this stage.

After some talks with several close family friends(all Engineers) I have decided that i would like to pursue a Maters in Mechanical Engineering. I had a tough time starting out in Engineering failing cal 1 my first time i took it. But after all of that i have strung together all B's this past term and am hell bent on getting all A's this summer and fall. Currently i have a 2.35 GPA with around 15 classes left to take for my ME degree. If i were to continue to step up my studies and finish very strong combined with a decent GRE score, would i be accepted somewhere for a Masters Program? Or should I pursue getting a P.E.

Thanks

I think that would suffice for a decent Masters Programme; you don't have to worry about a PE.

Masters in Mechanical Engineering, since you're incapable of deducing that yourself.

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
