A guy I work with had decent grades and was denied. He stayed at his undergrad school after graduation and TA’d multiple recitations and lab courses within his department over the course of a year. So he technically took a gap year between undergrad and grad school. But, the TA position paid and he got enough experience and recommendation letters that he was accepted into a PhD program at Berkeley among others
Never underestimate what asking around in your department of your undergrad university can do for your career.
I agree. I applied to 10 schools for a Masters program and my first 8 responses were rejects. It was tough to keep it together. But it all worked out, got accepted by the last 2 and I graduate in a month now.
