Hey guys,
So I am super worried right now. Since the application is coming up I am getting everything, but what I forgot about was my older grades. When I was 18 right out of high school I attended a community college and for 2 semesters. After that I took 2 years off of school for an LDS mission. After I got back I attended a university and have done decent. My overall GPA is a 3.54 and a 3.4 science. The problem is at the community college I didn't know how to drop a class so I failed 3 of them. So now I have 3 F's on my transcripts which I think brings my GPA down to a 3.1. Since being at the university I have take equivalent courses and have done well in them. My worry is that I am afraid they are not even going to consider my application once they see a low GPA even thought they were back in 2008. Even though I am a minority I still think that this is too low to consider. I am going to address it in my personal statement, but is there anything else I could possibly do?
