SWIT wants to be your academic coach. SWIT Founder, Dr. Justin Grimes, struggled in undergraduate and graduate school because he didn’t create a structure for success. Dr. Grimes had a 14 reading score on his ACT, a 1.66 GPA his first semester in college, and a GRE score of 265. So how did he go from these scores and GPA to pursuing and completing his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees? With the change in mindset and routine, Dr. Grimes identified strategies to overcome challenges impacting his success. SWIT has some questions for you. Do you struggle to create momentum? Do you find you complete a task only when someone else has created a deadline? You know that you are intelligent and talented, but maybe you need some accountability? Are you struggling to show up and complete even the smallest of tasks? You have an idea about a topic, like a thesis or dissertation, and lack direction on how or where to get started. You know you want to get a graduate degree, but not sure where to begin. Are you scared the graduate program won’t accept you because your test score, GPA, or year’s experience don’t meet their qualifications? You’ve selected the graduate program(s) you’re interested in applying to, but you have some concerns or questions about a stage or stages in the application process? Do you find that you need someone to walk with you from the beginning to the end of applying to graduate school but don’t know anyone willing to help? These are just a few questions Dr. Grimes has asked himself or heard from others. The great thing is that he has experience in helping you answer these questions and more.
