when i visited my cousin after a christmas party he had 18 bottles of champagne left over so his mom made me take like 4 of them, anyway i finally opened one for the first time today because i got a 3.93 semester gpa, which has bumped my cumulative gpa up enough to be a competitive candidate for PhD programs i’m applying to in the fall. and it’s great champagne

#:) whewwwe this makes me feel a lot better about choosing to study for & take the patent bar this summer instead of the gre #none of the programs i’m applying to require the gre but some encourage it if you don’t have great grades #and generally i have NOT had great grades especially in undergrad #but doing the gre was putting wayyy too many eggs in one basket so i chose the patent bar #bc if i don’t get in anywhere i should still be able to find a job easily enough #and it’ll still look good on applications because IP is an integral part of healthcare and medicine that i don’t think is examined enough!!#and maybe it’s because it’s not a super common overlapping skill set #especially since some programs really seem to give deference to applicants with MPHs 😒 well they’re not going to understand other related #policy issues HMMMM #i think i am feeling the champagne perhaps. if you actually read all of this i love you
