How can I be successful with my Business Administration Degree?
Hello, I am a first-semester freshman and due to my negligence I received a C in one of my classes. I have an average GPA now (around 3.5 if I do well in all my other classes), but I want to succeed with the Business Admin. Degree. I know I want to work in marketing, social media marketing, and I am exploring Accounting with my first Accounting class next semester. I have an internship lined up for next semester as well for marketing and event planning, and I am going to be doing an interview next week for another internship. I currently hold a co-social media manager position for a Dance team at my University, and I hope to get the graphic design position I was working towards within my next semester. Because I did not prioritize one of my classes and the subsequent classes this semester I ended with a C and the rest of my grades as high B's. I plan on working harder next semester so I can get better grades, but I am worried like this semester I will fall behind (I also had an on-campus job this semester and was taking interviews and applying to other jobs as well). I want to graduate early, and attend an MBA school so I have created a plan as to how I will graduate early with my classes, and started looking at what I should achieve to be accepted in the Deferred Admissions process for an MBA school. My University is small and not known for their business program, and in regards to the jobs I've been applying to I have focused on part-time internships: - social media - advertising - accounting I also applied to various on-campus jobs. In my free time I have worked to gain more knowledge about marketing and other jobs in business along with the skills required for them. This is why I landed on Marketing because of my creativity and artistic abilities, and how it can prove to be useful.
