Not a citizen till next year. I do plan on taking the GMAT again to crack 720. Thanks on the link on the Consortium.
Anyone not do too hot in their undergrad, but pursue a masters?

Aim to crack 700, you are evaluated in buckets, if you are in the Indian bucket for instance your goal is 760. Regardless either way you have plenty of time to maximize shyt, you will get 720 easy . I’m assuming you will wait to get citizenship first rather than wasting cash paying for tuition...
thought aggie is a good school...

For undergrad yes
really don't know how to act here. Hampton got a bridge program but I don't got pre-calc.
Really weighing whether to try my luck and apply with a masters or just be safe with the second undergrad. Maybe I should go to these schools and sit with someone...

This is my main concern for my first year undergrad. I have great ideas but regardless of the content, my ability to concentrate and not procrastinate are apalling

Doing well on the entrance exams is the equalizer, don’t be discouraged
Yep, and got my Master's with nearly all A's. You can do it. You might need to go in under conditional, but they can take you off that after one semester..if you meet the qualifications.
Thank you. I’m currently researching schools and how to best sell myself in my personal statement. Since I wanna do cyber security I joined this blacks in cyber slack group, hopefully I can gauge some tips from there.
Thanks everyone for the advice. My anxiety with it all is definitely less (I need to stop being a basket of nerves
). I’ll dap and rep everyone, just gonna set myself a reminder lol

Doubt I’m competitive for the programs I’m looking at
but I’m giving it a few shotsIf you want to get your masters, go for it. Just make sure you understand the admission criteria for the program you're applying for. Some will still accept a lower undergrad GPA, but you may have to write a letter/personal statement or take the GMAT, maybe both.
I’m preparing to write a detailed personal statement but the schools I’m looking at don’t require the GRE or GMAT. Should I take them anyway?
