<p>I am an undergrad student with 2.56 GPA currently and Majoring in Math and Chemistry. Last year, I had four finals on the same day, so I busted alot of my courses. This year, I am almost threatened with a C in chem 4A class. </p>
<p>It is not as if I haven't been trying, but according to my advisor, I haven't gotten used to college studying and I will start to see changes next year. But My GPA is already ****ed up this year, so should I apply to grad school, join the work force right after college, or just transfer to another school I have been already accepted to as a freshman and start all over again?</p>
<p>What year are you now?</p>
<p>I’m sorry to say that with your current grades, grad school isn’t likely. You should try your best to graduate here and then get a job, because even if you start all over again you’ll have this on your record and it’s not going to help you that you gave up and left…</p>
<p>Honestly 2.56 isn’t unsalvageable. It depends how much time you have left to do that.</p>
<p>I definitely agree with Eloriel - if you’re a freshman right now (which, if you’re taking 4A and you’re a chem major, then I think you should be…?) then you’ll have three years to ace up your GPA. </p>
<p>If you get 4.0s over the next three years, then you’ll be at a 3.6 by the time you graduate, which will be fine for grad schools (not the top ones) and for finding a job. Also, for grad schools you can write an addendum explaining a discrepancy (for example, if you do get really high GPAs over the next few years) and see if they’ll excuse your first year GPA. Usually they won’t, unless there’s an absolute good reason for it, but at least they’ll be aware of the situation.</p>
