<p>Hi to all! </p>
<p>I really need help involving this situation: </p>
<p>Last year I was kicked out of a high ranked public university for poor grades (ended with a 1.0 GPA) but my lack of academic success was due to not coping with the deaths of a close relative and my best friend. By the time I finally got over the matters, it was too late and I lost all of my scholarships (I had a FULL RIDE) and I was kicked out. Now, I am wanting to attend another school and start over and I am scared to list my attendance at my previous institution because I am feeling that the new institution will reject me solely on the GPA and NOT the actual circumstances that caused it. However, I know that lying is never the best policy but I'm truly lost as to what will occur of my academic future. I must also state that the institution has a admission policy of at least a 2.5 GPA and this school is the one I really want to attend. As being an Honor student my entire life, I never thought this would happen to me and I am searching for any feedback/help/solutions please...Especially anyone that's been in a relevant situation...</p>
<p>Have you considered a year at a community college? You would have the opportunity to demonstrate that you are on the right track again.
Are you sure that the door to your old school is completely closed?</p>
<p>
When you apply you sign the app promising that you have given complete and truthful answers. One question is always to list ALL prior schools attended. Now maybe you don’t have a problem bending rules; after all who never drives more than the speed limit? But there are more serious consequences here. </p>
<p>When your new school finds out you will be rejected, or if they don’t check until you’re enrolled you will be expelled. If you have accepted any financial aid then you have likely committed fraud, and the local DA is always happy to file a slam-dunk case to prove to the community they don’t ignore white-collar crime. And if you’re wondering how can they ever find out without calling every school in the country, turns out there is a national service set up to track enrollment, the National Student Clearinghouse.</p>
<p>I’ll also echo what siliconvalleymom has said. Most publics have a process to let students dismissed for academic reasons work their way back in, often with some time at a CC. Sometimes there are even special programs, as in this one for UCLA students: <a href=“http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/aitc/srrp.htm[/url]”>http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/aitc/srrp.htm</a> You should call your former school and inquire.</p>
