Hi all,
i've been looking at various certification programs and master's
programs. While the certification programs look decent, the master's
programs look a bit better with their spectrum of topics and the ability to
interact with other likeminded students & faculty.
The problem is I graduated with a low (around 2.25?) gpa in Psychology.
Halfway through school I started learning how to repair computers and
subsequently lost interest in psychology(thinking that it had little to do
with computers). Now that i'm a little older and wiser, I realize that I
shot myself in the foot. All of the graduate programs i've been looking at
require AT LEAST a 2.5gpa in order to apply. To get to that point I would
have to take at least several courses completely unrelated to interactive
design just to qualify for applying. At over a $1000 per class + fees, that
seems like a pretty poor path.
I did score very well on the GRE and also have excellent work experience in
technical support which I believe gives me a unique view on interaction
issues.
Can anybody give me some advice on which schools might not emphasize and
applicant's gpa? I don't see how some people are able to get into grad
school so easily several years after graduation.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Michael Martinez-Campos
