#slides that third of my transcript to various grad admissions departments and hopes they ignore my chemistry/gen ed grades

[astriiformes]

Working on my degree proposal and for all I am hard on myself for my (slightly higher than average, but still fairly average) GPA, mostly because I worry about it hurting my chances at grad school, I feel like it still says something that I actually do have straight As in my history of science classes in particular. If nothing else, I'm more than a little proud of myself for that

#slides that third of my transcript to various grad admissions departments and hopes they ignore my chemistry/gen ed grades #like realistically. they might #i am not applying to become a biochemist or anything like that. i am going to be applying to history of science programs #and i am a really great history of science student actually #and also have struggled in some of my classes because of the whole 'partner falling seriously chronically ill' thing #which feels like a reasonable thing to mention as an extenuating circumstance!! #i don't know. i don't want to get to hopeful but like. maybe i /am/ good enough for this
