So I’m going to receive an F in my Calc I class. I was in a bad car accident that affected me pretty badly this semester. I have all A’s and B with a current GPA of 3.79 and I’m considered a junior in credits even though I only just finished my second semester of college. My college does grade forgiveness, so I can retake the class and probably get an A or B second time around and have it replace the F in my GPA, but the F will stay on my transcript (it’ll have an R next to it which means that I had retaken it). Will this affect my chances of getting into grad or med school?
Did you see if you could get a medical withdrawal?
I wouldn’t be able to do that. Any sort of withdrawal will make me pay back my financial aid for that class and there’s no way that I can afford that.
You still may want to do it. Some schools allow you to do retroactive medical withdrawals, so you don’t have to do it today (or pay back the cost now). Look into it.
