Okay so I know that some schools do this, UofI is one of them. I have a few bad grades (F's) that were not pre -reqs from over six years ago. These classes were some electives that were online and I was young and stupid and didn't keep up with them (this was before I decided what I wanted to do with my life). I want to petition to ignore them but the year before I have some english classes that I earned A's in and I don't really want those ignored because they count towards my BS.
I will be completing a BS in 2014 so my question is - if those past english classes are ignored along with the bad grades will the vet schools still accept that I have all my prereq's? Should I not ignore grades over 6 years because they might make my BS irrevelant to the vet schools? My GPA now is 3.66 with many of the science pre-req's completed. The only reason it is this high is because when I transfered from the CC where I took classes a long time ago my GPA reset at the 4yr uni. If all of my classes from both schools are added I would guess that my GPA would drop to a 3.2 or 3.1. I have the opportunity to take some of these electives over but I am not sure it is worth it. Really I am just confused on what to do 😕
I am 28 now and I am definately kicking myself for all the stupid things I did when I was 19 and 20 lol. I just hope this doesn't keep me out of vet school.🙁
