Hi Everyone,
I will be applying this coming summer for the incoming class of 2011. lately, I have been having a lot of doubt about whether I will get admitted to anywhere at all. I graduated from Cal as a biology major, but while there, I went through a lot of rough family issues that very obviously affected my grades. I failed most of my science classes, but changed them to the P/NP so it wouldn't be calculated into my gpa.( P/NP were not calculated into your gpa) Ultimately, I took 3 semesters off of school, to take care of the family matters at home. During that time off, things were improving at home, and so I decided to retake most of the science classes at a community college. after all the family issues subsided, I was able to return to cal, finish off my degree with a B+ average. I was also able to ace all of my repeated CC courses. As for Letters of rec and ECs, I think I am up to par in those areas.
Now that the time of applications are drawing near for me, I am worried that the pharmacy schools will notice all my NPs on my transcript, and not be pleased that I repeated it at a CC. I wanted to take them through extension or postbac program, but there was no way I was ever going to be able to afford it in my life. I think my gpa would come out to be able to 3.2 when incorporating the repeated CC courses. However, its at a 3.2 only because there were a lot of NP grades rather than D's or F's. hence, the NP's were unable to bring the gpa down. I have been sitting here for the past week worried and unable to sleep because of the current situation that I am in. Im so scared and freaked out!
😱🙁😳
Do you guys have any comments? advice? thanks for your time. sorry for the long entry!
