Hello all,
I pretty much bombed my undergrad with a 2.5 gpa. I thought I was going into law half the time At nearly 26 I have decided to follow my heart and pursue a masters in screenwriting, but now I am afraid that I screwed up too much in my undergrad. My question is, how important is gpa when it comes to admissions? I am about to spend the next few years of my life volunteering at local theaters and trying to get my work published (I have been writing since I learned how to write), and am hoping that my writing and experience will get me admitted rather than my gpa...
Also, should I pursue either A) another bachelors and get good grades or B) pursue a masters in another field I can get into so I can get into the masters school I want to for screenwriting. My heart is set on Northwestern. I am in love with what I have researched on their program.
Any advice will help immensely! I would like to apply for the fall 2012 school year, but will wait as long as I need to in order to build up my resume.
Thanks ahead!
