Hey everyone, I'm currently into my second semester of a physics B.S with a math minor. After a poorly planned dabble in a chemistry double major and some mental health issues, I left last semester with a 3.1 GPA, and it likely won't get much better after this semester either. Grad school has always been my dream, and often the advice I get is to do a lot of research and get experience to make up for less than stellar grades. The problem is, I have absolutely nothing lined up for this summer and I'm starting to get anxious. Ironically, I can't apply for any REUs because my GPA is too low for them to even give me a look over and I have no previous experience anywhere. I go to an incredibly large northeastern school with over 30,000 students, also, so I have very little individual relationship with my professors. I am also a commuter and am at a disadvantage with the amount of time I have to network or talk to anyone on campus, so I'm unsure how to go about trying to find an on-campus opportunity. I feel incredibly lost.
Does anyone have any advice?
