    Hello, This is my first post so please bear with me. I received a psychology degree from a state school and graduated with a 3.9 GPA.

    GPA

    Bad Fresman Year Chances

    Let me start by saying that I take full responsibility for my poor grades in the past. I had a rough family life growing up but I was also lazy and unmotivated (also depressed). I graduated high school with a 1.9 GPA and started at the local community college taking classes on and off for 2...
