<p>I was dismissed as a sophomore from NYU due to my poor academic standing. I ended with a 1.842 GPA. Yes it is entirely my fault for not doing well in school. I got caught up with friends who have money and in order to keep up with them I had to work two jobs in order to eat with them and pay for the same activities they participated in. Given the fact that my parents didn't give me any allowance, I needed two jobs. But of course having two jobs can be very tiring and takes up a lot of your studying time away. That's exactly what happened to me and I thought that I would always have time the next day but I never did and in the end always ended cram studying, which never helped. Not being financially stable gave me anxiety about what people would think of me. People who could afford NYU didn't need to worry about their clothes, make up, where they can eat, what they can buy, etc. but I had to work 5 hours a day to hang out with my friends for 2 hours and end up having little to no money leftover for food. But of course I couldn't tell my parents this. Yes I know why are you doing this for your friends? Well at the moment and for my entire life, friends have been my priority and they were what made me happy and feel like I have been accepted. I went through depression all of freshman and sophomore without realizing it was depression. Insomnia, low confidence, lack of motivation, and avoiding responsibilities became my daily tasks which caused me to see a therapist and psychiatrist and I ended up taking medication but that didn't help. Sorry I sidetracked. But anyways I need to go back to NYU. Is there anything or any tip I can do to go back to NYU? Or would thee schools even accept me if I were to transfer? I'm desperate....</p>
<p>You’d have to ask NYU what their requirements are for you to return. They’ll tell you. Ask your academic adviser and your financial aid counselor. Ask what you have to do for them to re-admit you after your dismissal. Maybe attend a community college for a couple of semesters and earn A grades? Perhaps you should take a break from school and get a highly social job? Go back to school when you want to mainly study. </p>
<p>Help me out here. I have this huge motivation to study but once I start Iose all the strength I have for studying. How do I know when I’m ready? Am I supposed to study on my own first to figure out what I want? </p>
<p>Usually a year or two working and volunteering delivers both an answer of what to study and motivation for one’s next step academically. </p>
<p>Okay. Thank you for the replies! Really made me realize that maybe I really haven’t figured out my passion yet. </p>
