Didn't really have a plan at all when I started CC.

<p>I didn't know what I was doing and how bad I was hurting myself by failing classes. I thought grade forgivness replaced the grade completely, as in it made it go bye bye. Well they stick around forever and destroyed my transcript.</p>

<p>I was disapearing from so many classes that I was refered to a counsler to discuss why I was doing this. I would sign up for online classes and miss entire assignments, tests, discussions. I stop going to one class because I was to scared to do a speech. When I went to see the counsler he pretty much said I was screwed and asked me why I was going to school to begin with. Then I really messed up when he asked me what was going on because if I would have said something happen he could have had a good portion of the F's released.</p>

<p>So this brings us to now. I have 30 credits out of 60 with a GPA of 2.5 in college and a 3.4 from highschool. Both have many F's on the transcrips. Now it looks like none of the colleges that I wanted to go to will touch me with a 10 foot pole.</p>

<p>I didnt think I picked very hard colleges to get into but things have changed over the past few years. USF wont even take my their GPA requirement is atleast 3.0..</p>

<p>All the colleges I am looking at are not in the top 50 public so I didn't think it would be a problem but it does look like it is.</p>

<p>Oh, and if you were wondering why I posted this on an LD fourm its because I have had documented ADHD and dysleixa since I was 5.</p>

<p>Do you have a plan now, and if so, what is it exactly? What is your goal for your education?</p>

<p>When you define that clearly, you should be able to start working toward it. You may need to complete a full A.A. or A.S. degree in some specific major at your CC in order to transfer to a 4-year institution. Go talk to your counselor there about which majors have formal articulation agreements with a college or university. Then contact the college/university that would admit you under that agreement if only you had a GPA of X.X. Perhaps you they will give you probationary status. In other words, you would be permitted to only take a limited number of courses and you would be expected to earn a specific GPA in order to continue studying there. But, with focus on your long-term goal, you should be able to do it.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Major state schools probationary status? I thought that was for when they are going to kick you out.</p>
