So I need some advice about the current situation I am in. I just finished my first semester as a P2 in pharmacy school. I recently struggled my first year and ended up with two D's and was able lot remediate over the summer to place me back into academic good standing. I finished the summer courses with receiving an A and a B in the classes I previously got D's in. So this fall I worked very hard and have improved my study habits to make sure I pass all my classes. I struggled in my PK class all semester as I have difficulty in word based math questions and ended up receiving another D in this class. Also, I ended up getting a 69.65 in my Lit Eval because I didn't do well on the first exam but have passed all my other assignments and the final but was not rounded up to a passing grade of a C. Since I received the two D's my first year and these I was dismissed from the program. I have heard that I can appeal this decision but would like some advice from anyone who has been or knows anyone who has gone through this situation. I know that a few students were already held back from not passing classes the P1 year and were not dismissed. Some of these students were in 3 or 4 classes when I started the program so I found this to be very strange. I feel that I have proved over the summer that i was able to succeed in the classes I did not do well in and this past semester I feel like I only struggled in one class. I was practically passing my Lit Eval class and even passed the final with less than 2 points away from the points needed to get a C. The school handbook says that in order to stay in academic standing i must receive a 2.00 or higher, with the two D's this past fall I am still in good academic standing with a 2.24 (I know its not great but I am trying), I can't imagine myself doing anything else as a career and know that I am capable of succeeding in the program. If anyone has any advice for me in this appeal process it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
