I’m currently a student at a UC. I’m looking to transfer to UNC Chapel Hill. However, I have a terrible GPA due to me having frequent breaks due to my bipolar disorder. What are some things I can do in order to make up for that GPA?
bump?
First things first-- have you found a way to deal with the bipolar disorder?
If you don’t deal with the basic issue, then anything you try to do about your gpa will be a bandaid instead of a real fix.
Best wishes!
Agreed. You should try to get the bipolar under control as best you can.
