[quote=Anonymous]I took 2 years off between BA and MA, and then 8 years between MA and PhD. The 2 years was pretty standard in my field. The 8 years, not so much. But it worked for me. That GPA is going to be a huge hurdle. She will need not just an outstanding portfolio, but also outstanding references and GRE scores. Even then, it may just be too much to overcome for a top three school. As much as I loathe unpaid internships, she may benefit from taking one with a local sports team to really dive into data analytics. That would certainly strengthen her candidacy for grad school. It would also help her make industry contacts and she may find she can secure employment without grad school. She can learn python and other programming languages on her own or through non-credit offerings at local colleges.[/quote]
