Like so many here, I have been working on pre-reqs with the hope of being accepted to the LSU CARE program for Fall 2012. It's not too early to start freaking out is it?? :) I have a BA in English with a terrible GPA, but since I graduated 20 years ago, I went on to have a successful career as a management consultant, including a stint with PricewaterhouseCoopers. I am doing my last semester of pre-reqs now - currently have a 3.6 in my pre/co reqs with A(s) in Bio, Physical Science, Micro (so far - we'll see how the rest of the semester goes!), Psych and Sociology. From what I've read, the essay and interview also play a big part in the selection process. Any other tips from people who've lived through this? The deadline is January 15, so I have 3 more months to prepare. I'm worried that my overall undergrad GPA, which is a 2.03, will doom my application even though my pre/co req GPA is strong. I would appreciate any advice about what else I can do between now and January 15th to make the strongest application possible. Thanks all!
