A little help (possible academic dismissal)

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I'm in a situation where my cumulative GPA might fall below a 2.0. The number one thing I've learned this year is don't mess around with time! I'm not even going to wait. I'm starting to plan out already and I've started drafting my letter and thinking of possible professors who can write a letter for me. I have even sent them e-mails. </p>

<p>My questions are:</p>

<p>[1] If I get the VP of Academics (a student) to write a letter along with mine, how will it look?
[2] What's the difference between asking to be re-instated and asking for academic probation? Which one looks better?
[3] If I get a church pastor / choir member to write a letter along with mine how will that look?
[4] If I get a group/ club / organization adviser to write a letter how will that look? (it's a Christian group)
[5] Is someone on this forum up for it to look through my essay with me and work on it 'til we get it right? I'd be really grateful and owe you big time someday for this.</p>

<p>EDIT - how will it look asking fellow students, classmates, friends to also write letters?</p>

<p>Most schools would put you on probation which means don’t mess up again and bring up your GPA.</p>

<p>I would love that. I have never been on probation before so I hope that factors into it. I’m a second semester freshman at the moment. And I I’ve learned so much with everything that has happened to me so I’m more than confident that this wont happen again. I’m not sure though in my letter if I should plead for probation or to say let me back into school.</p>

<p>Have you talked to someone at your school to find out what their policy is for academic probation/dismissal? I ask because from your posts it doesn’t sound like you have. IMO the first step should be to see where you stand given the policy of your school, before letter writing (by you or anyone else).</p>

<p>^ Like what entomom says, you need to know what your school does about this.</p>
