Thank you for replying! I got two letters of recommendation from women who my mom knows who went to my school, both of them told me they weren't needed but wrote them anyway because they are nice ladies lol. However, after hearing repeatedly that no one uses them here I stopped looking.
Sciencewoman & DubiaSis, it is nice to see different ways that people may view this, although I certainly hope they will all see it the way Sciencewoman does but that's not realistic. Hopefully being open to all options will help me here! I've tried to close my ears to any "reputation" gossip so I can make my own opinions come recruitment.
& AZTheta you are right, my old school was insanely easy compared to this new program. The program average is a 3.1 for undergraduates for my major . This semester I earned an A, B+, B+, B-, and a C+ but the A was only a 1 credit course so it didn't help me out that much. This comes out to a 2.985 rounded to a 2.99 (A=4.0, B+=3.3, B-=2.7, C+=2.3). I would've thought my gpa would be higher too, but my studying habits were not up to par with this new course load and this is something I didn't figure out until after the first round of exams.
Anyways thanks again for the insight! I definitely plan on going through recruitment but I don't want to get myself too excited if realistically my chances aren't so hot.
