Should I obtain another Bachelor’s?

[AdmissionsBoards]

I graduated from UCLA with two B.A.s: One in history and the other in English. My GPA was 2.86

I am now interested in obtaining a masters in Bioengineering and a PHd in Neuroengineering.

The problem lies here: should I obtain a Bachelor’s in Science? (i.e. biology)
What steps do you recommend I take to fulfill my goals?

Thank you,

Kenny

BTW, If anyone knows of any accelerated programs such as the LEAP program in Boston University,please let me know!

Hi kiraheta and welcome to Admissions Boards!

I am not an expert, but I think it would appear that you have a lack of focus to the admissions committee if you go back to school for another bachelor’s degree at this point. If you really want to boost your GPA you might consider a masters or a post-bacc program.

Best of luck!
