UBC is off my list… they require a 3.75 for the final two years. 3.75!! I was good enough to get a blue cord strung around my neck at commencement, indicating to all that I was between 3.5 and 3.7 (it was 3.49 actually, good thing they round up) but a coveted yellow cord eluded my grasp. And it was all because of a lousy final year. Basically, to be even eligible to apply to UBC’s masters program (nevermind accepted) I would have to take a whole year of undergrad first, and fucking ace every course.
So. I am in talks with one Dr. Spiegel at Cape Town to determine if my background in anthropology (I took a couple courses during my undergrad) is sufficient. My GPA is entirely acceptable to them. Same deal with Concordia. I’ll have to have the same conversation with UVic and Calgary. I’m entirely confident that Addis Ababa will have no issues with me and I am thinking about escaping there anyway, if only to leave the stress of grad school applications behind me.
