<p>Hi, I am currently in my first quarter of college, but looking to transfer for the fall of 2012. When I came into college I was positive that I wanted to major in physical Therapy. I met with an adviser and found out the classes that I should start out with in order to get a jump start in the required courses. Going into my fall quarter I really didnt want to take a math class, because I have always struggled with math. It is by far my weakest subject. It was my lowest score on all standardized tests, as well as the only C I ever got in high school. I wanted to take some classes that I thought I could excel in during my first quarter, so I would be able to maintain good grades while figuring out the entire college scene. While talking to an adviser I was told that it would be the best idea to take math fall quarter so I did, and like I thought I would, I struggled a lot. Its completely my fault and I am embarrassed that I would let myself do so poorly in a class. Just to give a little background though, in high school I only got 1 C+ and it was in a math class, I kept my GPA at a 3.5 with honors and AP classes. The math class I was in was a large lecture class with about 80 students, which was another problem for me. I was too timid to ask questions, and the teachers only office hours were during another one of my classes. I spent a lot of time in the tutoring center, but still the material just didnt click with me. This is also the most failed class at my school. I thought about taking a W, but really wanted to try to work my way through the class and was too stubborn to give in.I ended up failing the class and now have a F on my transcripts for my first quarter. My problem is that I was looking to transfer for the fall of 2012. Is this pretty much impossible now for me?</p>
<p>Besides math I also took a sociology and psychology class during fall quarter. I got BS in both of those classes, and for winter quarter I am taking classes that I am comfortable with, which I think I have a good chance of acing. But am worried that I will be rejected from all schools I applied to as a transfer because of the failed math class.</p>
<p>I am hoping to double major in international relations and sociology with a minor in French.</p>
<p>So my question is did I completely screw myself over with this class? Or are there still a chance that I can get accepted?</p>
<p>Also my school has a policy where I can retake the class, and the retake grade will replace the current one, so I am giving this class another try in the spring, but I dont know if that will be too late.</p>
<p>Would it be a good idea to include an explanation like this on my application under additional information or should i just leave it?</p>
<p>Sorry this is so long, but thank you for any advice anyone can give me!</p>
