I messed up this quarter. How badly? Well on a level of 1-10, I'd say 10! It's the week before finals, and I'm pretty sure I failed all my classes :-( Why? This is the first quarter that I am attending the University of Washington, full-time. I was also taking 2 tough courses- Statistics & Physics- in addition to a Fish Physiology course. I am usually terrible at math, but whenever I have repeated a math course at the community college, I did significantly better- at least 2 grade points better.
So I plan on repeating Physics and Stats, since they are important in terms of MOT pre-requisites. If I obtain a 4.0 GPA in both classes the second time around, my combined GPA for each class would amount to a 2.0. Many of the Masters of OT programs I've looked at (i.e. University of Washington) state the pre-requisites must be completed with a 3.0 and above, or else those credits won't be accepted. I can't get any higher than a 2.0!
My question is, do I still have a chance at University of Washington MOT program? I promise myself I will do better in my following 6 quarters- shooting to maintain nothing less then a 3.7 GPA in all my classes from now on. I won't allow myself to become distracted anymore (it was my first relationship & I became too invested in it rather than school). I did some calculations and believe with hard-work, prioritization, and dedication I can graduate with Undergrad GPA of 3.5 and with some repeating of courses I can get a Pre-req. GPA of between 3.5- 3.7.
I've done so many things already to ensure I do better next quarter. I've educated myself on all the resources my University has to offer (i.e. UAA advisers, CLUE tutoring sessions, Math Learning Centers). I've contacted an acquaintance who has graduated from UW MOT program. I've scheduled for an advising appointment for tomorrow morning. MOST importantly, I already dumped my boyfriend. I've already contacted a few volunteer sites so that I can start volunteering again.
Everyone makes mistakes, right? I hope I still have a chance 🙁
