So, I have kept a cgpa of 3.65ish and just found out this school I went to for three weeks gave me Fs instead of WDs. It was an accelerated school called ECPI and I got accepted into their nursing program. Well three weeks in I decided to leave and go to a real university and not put myself in 65000 dollars of debt for an associates degree.

Well today I found out on the three classes I was in A&P (3 credits) A&P lab(1 credit) and orientation (1 credit) they gave me Fs. This has brought my cgpa to a 3.5ish. Are medical school even going to look at my application with those Fs? The only other bad grade I have is a D from my freshman year which I retook the same course and got a B. Then other than that I have only received a C in my freshman English class.

I'm currently fighting the Fs to get changed to WD, but I'm not sure how that will turn out.

Thank you in advance
 
When you "left" did you immediately and officially drop out?


Yes I officially dropped out told everything was fine and the lady I spoke with(head of that particular program) even said I was welcome to come back if I changed my mind.

They are screwing me because they told me I dropped out past the date allowed which is not what the lady told me.

Now I didn't have to pay them anything for these classes and my Fin Aid didn't even send out to them because it was before the deadline.

Idk about other school, but the ones I have gone to if you leave a class early enough to not have to pay then you get a WD if you leave after the date you are still required to pay for the class.

It says on the transcript Withdrawn, but gives me Fs on all three of the classes
 
that is weird partly because if you didn't even have to pay for the course, you must not have been in that deep to have even crossed the drop deadline. What in the world is this school doing?

Yeah... something about this story doesn't add up.

Screwing up my gpa and all around making my day be crap

Yeah, that's why I had a long talk with the student records lady today I told her it doesn't make sense to receive an F if I haven't even past the deadline for paying for the course. She said that I was in the class for more then four days so it counts as an F when you drop. I told her that was not what the lady that ran the program told me. She said since the grade has been in the system now for over a year she can't change it, but she would speak to someone else about it. I said to her "honestly take a look at my other grades on the transcripts I sent in do you think I would of withdrew from a course If I was told I would receive a F?" She said she understood I was told wrong and took my information down and said she would contact me later.

I honestly don't know what to do other than hope they change it.

no matter how long a grade is in a system, if it was incorrectly placed it is your right to obtain correction of error made by administration. This is ridiculous. OP I highly suspect that the lady you are conversing with does not know what she is talking about and someone higher up needs to know about it.

I spoke with them again today. My old advisor agreed this was not okay and if no one would help me he advised I should go to the campus president. I left a name and contact info for him and I hope to hear from him tomorrow.

They say it's an F because I was in the class for more then four days, yet their WD date is in week four to not have to pay for anything. During week three I WD and was told everything in the system would be a WD.

From my conversations today I don't foresee them changing the grades. If the campus president refuses to change it as well I'm not sure what else I could do..
