<p>I just found out i was dismissed from UCSD for having too low of a GPA for two quarters in a row...</p>
<p>I was wondering if this happened to anyone and they appealed their academic disqualification from UCSD and actually got back in? and how you did it ? please!</p>
<p>=(</p>
<p>Well, was there a legitimate reason why your grades suddenly slipped? If it’s just laziness, there’s nothing much you can do. Sorry dude.</p>
<p>i thought you were supposed to be on academic probation whenever you got a quarter GPA <1.8 … if this was the case and you didn’t pull your grades back up, you’re not exactly making the best show of effort. </p>
<p>go talk to your advising dean and explain your situation – you might be granted an extra quarter to pull your grades back up, or sent to a JC for the time being to think things over. but if you’re already an upper-division student, it’s not looking good.</p>
<p>well i think i have a pretty good reason
my father passed away recently and like our financial situation at home went down the drain. I am an only child and I live with just my mom. She doesn’t speak english and is victim to polio.
She is unable to work and i am only a sophomore. So basically I have had to look over her and watch the house and deal with financial stuff by myself.</p>
<p>From all the stress I sort of became really anxious about lots of stuff and found out i had a panic disorder. this came out of the blue. so sitting in class, taking tests, hanging with friends… its living hell for me</p>
<p>i explained all this in extreme detail and wrote a letter to the dean with the appeal form and all my medical records along with my moms frequent hospital trips and my fathers death certificate…</p>
<p>idk, i think i went a little over board on it but im hoping it is enough ?</p>
<p>My best goes out to both you and your family; I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for you right now. But consider this–because of everything that’s been going on in your life, would you be able to perform well at UCSD and still keep track of everything else? I think in your case, “academic disqualification” should not be seen as the punishment the term seems to imply. I understand the need to go to a university, get a good education, etc., and if your disqualification is revoked, then that’s fabulous! And certainly, I would never discourage you from that. But keep in mind that if it is not, for whatever reason UCSD might give you, know that perhaps it would be a good opportunity to let all of your experiences settle. Because as you said, sitting in class, taking tests–living hell. Whether at HS or UCSD, they are still classes, still tests.</p>
<p>Whatever your decisions, I wish you the best of luck.</p>
