@momprof9904 @collegemom3717 thank you for these two pieces of great advice. I agree with the both of you. @collegemom3717, you’re spot on. Yes, I’m looking for an school, such as in-state NJ or out-of-state, that will give my a good amount of aid and/or a school that will mostly meet my entire “financial need” such as a Northwestern. For Chemistry & Society, yes, the course is intended for non-science majors and are looking to meet a requirement. However, when you say that “Intro got the better of me”, you have to understand and I’m sorry for not mentioning this, but I’ve always had a difficult time when learning a new language; it’s been that way since early high school. Also, the reason for my “up and down” academic performance is due to my struggle with anxiety. Back in early 2017, I struggled nearly the entire year with anxiety and it was to the point where I seeked therapy and I couldn’t focus on classes and school work; I meet with a therapist twice a week for nearly 5-6 months. I didn’t mention that here on this thread. I’m going to write about it in a personal statement to the schools I apply to. 2017 is also the time when I received the F in FRE 102, which occured in the Spring semester.
I know what I can do academically, nonetheless. My professor who taught both Intro to Poli Sci and American Federal Government in the Fall, told me he’d be happy to write me multiple letters of recommendation if necessary. He’s the Department for History, Philosophy, and Political Science at my CC and has a PhD in the field. As of now, I have 3-4 professors who have told me that they’d be happy to write me one as well.
Also, thank you sending me the link for CBS 2020. That seems like something that I would be very much interested in. Thank you for that! Lastly, an NJ school option would be the best option for me. However, we all dream, and that’s why I’ll apply to the schools I mentioned without an expectation of receiving an acceptance.
