The work-life balance issue is a HUGE issue for many graduate students (and academics in general). Extra curriculars are a good way to reduce stress and mix up your line of thinking every once in a while. Just make sure you work on your time management ;) | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 4:35 | comment | added | theforestecologist | Grad school decisions shouldn't be taken lightly, & should likely not be determined while 'down' about academia & an overbooked schedule (b/c that is essentially grad school). GRE's get your foot in the door of programs w/ min score requirements, but do little else (though you better do well on the math portion!!). GPA isn't even necessarily the most important factor -- think about it, even w/ straights A's/B's, you look like every other candidate that is applying. Focus on getting teaching, research, or other experience PRONTO. EXPERIENCE outweighs academics and makes you stand out. Period. | |

"GPA" doesn't exist all over the world. This is obviously a localised question.
