Hello,<\/p>\n
I have been having sleepless nights about this as well as some depression, but I need to know how bad bleak my future is right now. By the time I graduate I will have redone close to 1 academic year repeat (i.e. I repeated about 8 courses over my time at university, in yorku a full course load is 10 courses for a school year). 2 out of 3 of my repeats were originally F’s on the first attempt and D’s on the 2nd attempt. Even though my grades are awful I still average a C+ close to a B average. My question is with these repeats and multiple failures will my chances of getting into grad school be absolutely closed for myself??<\/p>\n
??????????????<\/p>\n
Yo yo sleepless in Toronto,<\/p>\n
Honestly man, your life is not over. Although you may have cut off some opportunities, your life’s not over. It really depends on what Grad school and program you’re looking to get into. If your CGPA is high enough to beat out everyone else they might not look at your repeated courses.<\/p>\n
BUT … this is a pretty decent BUT, some programs will look at this negatively and if you’re tied with another student for a spot, they will most likely choose the one who did the courses well the first time.<\/p>\n
I’m not entirely sure what your situation is and if your done school … or if you currently attend York U (if so, way to come over to the dark side\/u of t)… but this is what i’m going to suggest for you to do.
\nFirst off, if your still in school, get your shit together and kill whatever courses you have left. That way you have an awesome CGPA (which is always a good thing).
\nSecondly, make an appointment with your registrar as they can look at grad school business with you and see what options are still open despite your repeated course.<\/p>\n
