Fast-forward to now and I’ve definitely improved my studying habits and marks, but I still feel like I’m trying to pull my GPA up to what I want it to be. I’m currently sitting at just under a 3.4 GPA, and if things keep going as they are I think I can graduate with a 3.5 - should I be worried applying for jobs or grad programs in the future? I know this might sound like it isn’t a big problem but sometimes I worry when I see that grad programs have accepted GPAs of 3.7+ and I know that I might want to apply for those one day. Thanks for anything that can give me some peace of mind :)). For context, I’m majoring in CS and math.",

You have 2 types of people that graduated the program: those of us that went into the work force (not history focused) and the rest that dug in and went after their PhD and have just started graduating and entering the workforce.\n\nMAPSS will not set you up well for a career in public history or museum work. You're going to be competing in an inundated field that has a lot of PhDs looking for work, and your going to be coming out of the program with a 1 year general training. If you have been accepted into a reputable PhD program and you have career aspirations in that field, go another route.\n\nIf however you are not happy with the programs you got accepted into, then MAPSS could be a good program to leverage the next step in your academic career. Most of my cohort that continued their studies landed in ivy plus schools, but I think this could be a very expensive route to go for a field where you are not going to make much money.\n\nIf you are interested in going into a graduate program, getting a high profile name on your CV, and leveraging it into a high paying career, MAPSS CAN set you up for that, but consider how to diversify your coursework to make you attractive to employers (talking about your history classes is a harder sell, I did it eventually but it took me a lot of work to get in).\n\nI loved my time in MAPSS and it ultimately shaped my current career that has provided well (I'm a consultant now). But your career aspirations are very similar to what mine were in 2013, and the job market at that time said no thanks and I pivoted late.

I had friends who broke down crying after getting dropped in the fall bc they didn’t want to be a “COB girl” even if the srat they COB’d into ultimately was still a top srat hahaha. Imo shit like that is pretty silly but who am I to judge.\n\nUltimately I would also say you should take what I say with a grain of salt bc in the past few years the srat scene has shifted a lot (if you can believe it when I was a first year Theta was the top dog but obviously that whole recruitment scandal basically leveled them entirely. I used to date a DG and she said DG’s fallen off as of late as well). You will learn more by talking to ppl who are currently actually in srats but also know that you will get a lot of biased information so know how to sort the noise from the actual data points to make your best decision",
