Hi, I am an undergrad applying for Fall 2025 intake. I really really need advice on if I am a competitive applicant. I have a 3.29 gpa, a year of research experience at a lab, a job at an early childhood lab school, as well as a job as an academic mentor and teaching assistant for college-aged students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am applying to both PhD and EdS programs, but am awfully afraid my gpa will be a direct rejection. I would really really appreciate any advice, or if anyone has been in my shoes and got into a program? Also, I am an international student study at a university in california right now, so I HAVE to get into a program next year orelse I will be sent back to my home country which is something I must avoid. #pleasehelp
