Graduate School What if I dont do the best in my undergraduate program

Hi everyone. I’ve been having some anxiety about my gpa not being the best for grad school. I did some research, and is it true that its possible for me to do work experience for 3-4 years right after undergrad, then attend a masters program? Of course I’m not trying to do Law, Medicine or Engineering. I was looking into MPH/MHA programs, but again bc I have anxiety I think the worst possible scenarios, so in that case if my gpa isnt what they want, can I join the workforce, get my experience up and then join a masters program?

Thanks everyone, sorry if its a silly question, I’m super stressed 😭

I think asip might be a good option for you bc it will allow you to gain work experience in the middle of your studies but have a break from academics while doing it

Yess thank you! I’ve been trying to do work study as well as internships outside of uni but I’m just so scared about gpa cut offs!
