I received an F for a college class I took during hs and today, I was going through my email and I realized I had emailed my guidance counselor about makeup for the final exam and she ignored me. I did not receive a syllabus for the course since I was not notified when the class started or the room number until the second week of school. Also the professor's email was not on the college website.

Here is my email which she ignored. I sent it 1 month later or so after the exam but I think if she told the professor I could have received an A for the class.

Hi Ms. ---,

This year, I completed the CollegeNow course Biology of Inheritance. However, I soon discovered that I received no credit for that course.

I received a 92, the highest score in the class, on the midterm. However, I did not take the Final because I thought that class was cancelled due to the AP exams so I decided to take it the week after. However, class already ended during AP week and I never had the chance to take the Final.

Could I take make up for the Final in any way? Or could you possibly remove the grade from my transcript?

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
---"

Can someone tell me if I can talk to a committee or something. I feel like I did not deserve the grade. I feel cheated and violated.

It has been 2.5 years since the final exam which I never took.

I emailed the professor about the grade last summer but he ignored me and when I called him, he told me to call the registrar and they used the oldest trick in the book and told me to call back later and when I did, they played stupid.

However, I never told the profesosr about this email.

its been 2.5 years!, If I got a bougus F I would have been aruging day and night 2.5 years ago.
 
Does it affect anything presently? If not, then just forget about it.
 
Very unlucky situation, and I think you might be out of luck since it was many years ago. Perhaps you could plead for an incomplete instead of a fail?
 
Based on what you're saying, it sounds like you're stuck with it.
 
If you're wondering whether it's fair or not, it sounds like you should have been more aware of what was going on in class. I don't think you'll be able to get it change. Live and learn.
 
Do what you can to get it off.

You should have pressed the issue harder at the time obviously, but you've got the dated email so there's that.

You waited a MONTH after the exam to say something? Even if you had done something right away, ignorance is never an excuse.

Pretty sure there is nothing you can do. Most schools have some kind of final grade clause anyway. I think my undergrad said you had 6 months to dispute a grade and then it was locked forever. My medical school only allows 14 days.
 
Am I misreading this post, or are you really saying that you skipped the final because you thought you could just take it later? If that's the case, you totally deserved the F.
 
@Rekt When applying to summer programs or med school, do I explain my grade or do I just apply with the F as it is?
 
There is nothing you can do at this point. Your plan to essentially take your final at a later time was poorly thought out to begin with. In the future, always communicate directly with the professor. Your guidance counselor cannot do jack in most cases.

You have to include it since it was a college class. You might be asked about it, but I wouldn't explicitly bring it up. They'll see that you took it during high school.

Umm, Im currently applying for a summer program that does not interview. There is a section to explain. Should I or do I not explain? Help appreciated!
 
Threads like this make me feel better about myself in comparison lol. I hope you've changed cause this behavior won't cut it in med school. You gotta gain common sense/judgement skills before becoming an MD.
