I had 3.4 ish, then I bombed a semester because I did not manage personal problems well. It was a tough learning experience haha, probably one of the biggest ballbusters Ive had in life so far.

 
expenseaccountsyou're screwed- good luck getting into either as anything other than a janitor
haha, you sound like a loser lol. And no, I don't think I'm screwed, because one fuck-up is no reason for me to start panicking. Ps You sound like either a janitor yourself or at best, an uneducated noveu riche. I bet you don't have any old money in your background, and come from a family of uneducated low end workers, and your dreams of big business were crushed, contributing to your bitter attitude. What I know, is that all that banks / corporations care about is not your GPA but if you're making or losing bucks (through capitalizing on whatever). period.
 

what do you mean by pharma? some start up, small company? if you think your going to get a job working in research/clinical development/etc. at a big pharma like pfizer or whatever, consider your chances low with a 2.8, you will need to bust your ass the next 2 years and raise that thang up. in addition, getting into a reputable econ masters with your background is going to be pretty difficult and the CFA is no picnic. unless you have taken finance courses at your school and are well versed, your going to have a tough time getting into a "finance firm." my advice to you, look for some kind of life sciences consulting gigs.

mcgill sucks too. canadians....sigh....
