LSS I'm finishing my MPH with a 3.5/3.6 GPA, Went to a good UG but had a super low GPA (worked fulltime) <3.0 and a mid 20's MCAT. Waiting on one school to give me a chance this year but along w/ my MPH coursework I've been taking additional science classes a la carte. Well I ran into a job conflict the same day as my first test in a UG anatomy course and failed the test. The prof wouldn't let me take it 2 hours later with frustration and anger...I'm not a UG anymore so I have to work...I actually have 3 jobs to eliminate all my revolving debt before going to school, but I thought they would at least make an exception for work reasons. Needless to say I got an F. Next test I got a B, and my third test (final) is in about 2 weeks. They are all weighted the same so if (when) I get an A on the final the best I can hope for is a C or C+. I highly doubt the dean of my MPH program will let me withdrawal from the class...too many politics at my current school (Another long story) and she's the only one who can make that happen. Any suggestion on what I can do?? If I don't get into the school this year I'm either going to continue to take a la carte classes, or hopefully get into a formal postbac. But since I'm pretty far removed from UG...will this just look like my UG GPA was well deserved?? I've been getting either B's B+'s, or As in my other a la carte classes...but I don't have that many under my belt. I can try to get an incomplete...but I don't know if I can make that happen either. Will this be insurmountable??
