Could going to get a masters recieving a good GPA make me better qualified to get in law or medical school. Plus the fact that I am female and minority work in my favor? I plan after the masters then trying to apply. Aboutmy undergrad, I transferred in a decieded after my junior year sociology wasn't what I thought it was going to be and I am not doing so well. I also have the same professors over and over for differnet classes, the college is small, and not very diverse so you are well known by the professors.

Honestly, you shouldn't waste time or money getting a master's degree you have no interest in unless it is criminal justice or some other field of law or a master's in biology. Instead, you should visit a Law School or Medical School and speak to the advisors of the programs and tell them about your undergrad GPA and your interest in pursuing a law degree or medical degree. Another thing Law schools look at is your scores on the LSAT.
I would recommend that you set up an appointment to speak to a law school advisor before you think about graduate school. I am sure they would help you get on the right path of becoming a future lawyer. You should do the same for Medical school.Good Luck.

Getting a masters may help....it may especially help you focus your interests.
Yes! being female and ESPecially being minority can work in your favor! Use this!
Of course with med school and law school, you need pretty high scores on MCAT and LSAT, respectively. So take a prep course and do well on these.
Plus, it would help at least for med school if you have some clinical or lab experience. So maybe what you might try to do is rather than seek a masters degree in between, see if you can get a clinical internship, volunteer in a hospital, work in a bio research lab, etc.
Good luck!

Anything is possible if you trust in God. I just really suggest taking some electives and take any classes that you are dissatisfied with over. The better the gpa the better. It's alot of people in the same predicament, but you just have endure and get your gpa together, so that when you apply you will increase your likelihood of getting in.
