So 4 years ago, as my 18 year old self, I start my first semester of college. Turns out I was not nearly ready and stop going two months in, resulting in unofficial withdrawals. I called that school today and asked if there was any process that I can go through to petition those into coming off my transcript. Turns out that unless I attend the school and take them there, and assuming they are required for my major, I will retain them. Well I live in another state now so that clearly isn't happening. So here I am worried about what kind of impact that will have in the years to come. I finished this semester with all A's, but knowing that I have a bunch of F's that will linger and inadvertently drag my GPA in the end hurts my morale.
So I am just wondering the opinion on what I should do. Now, the classes were Spanish I, Gen Psych, Bio 1 w/lab and College Algebra. I think my school combined the Bio lecture and lab into one grade, but does anyone from experience know if this means two F's, or will it still it be one? And does anyone have any ideas at all of getting around this?
So far I've taken Gen Psych and College Algebra and came out with A's, and hope to do the same with the other two classes. So I figure that as long as I spend the rest of my semester rocking out the high grades, and keep a gpa that will at least get my foot in the door once they are converted for the med schools, I can simply explain myself and they will hopefully ignore that first bad semester.
So anyone with experience with this sort of situation got any words of wisdom or advice? I don't want to think I'm out of luck so early in the game. If all it takes is to work even harder, then so be it. I don't even mind.
