Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay so I'm a sophomore in college. My first semester of freshman year I got a 2.15 as my gpa, my second semester freshman year I got a cumulative GPA of 1.91 because I took 18 credits and failed math and got a D in french. I was placed on Academic Probation my first semester of Sophomore year and I'm dying. I think I may have failed out. I go to Creighton University btw...I'm pretty sure I'm not doing second semester there. This semester was crazy, I was in some kind of wierd depressed mood for the first half and then tried to make up for it after the midterm. The thing is I was passing everything after the midterm mark. Then I went in to my professors because it wasn't the scores I wanted. Wasn't much help...I struggled. To make matters worse I had the worst Eng teacher for 120...I didnt drop it because I'd already dropped SOC which made me 13 credits and dropping another would have made me 11 credits.
I retook math and I got a D in it (it was passing...math isn't my strong point) so they said it'd replace my grade I had that semester. </p>

<p>I have a couple questions: 1) telling my parents. 2) does fafsa cover CC after I've failed out of Creighton?</p>

<p>I just want to know how on earth I can tell my parents...I know what my plans are for the future. I'm going to go to a CC to build up my GPA and I've looked on CU's website and it says that after a year I can reapply, but I don't know if I want to reapply to CU after all...I'm looking at Northwestern College in Chicago now. If I can get my GPA up from the disgrace it is now to at least a 2.75 or higher, i'd be so grateful or even a 2.5... It's just telling them after they've had three college graduates, I'd be the failure and I know I'd see it in their faces. And I don't think I can take that...</p>

<p>2) I'm more than likely going to have to pay out of pocket right?</p>

<p>You really need to talk to the college counselor. Make an appointment as soon as you can and explain to him/her all your issues. If you don’t like the counselor, find another one.</p>

<p>In particular, ask about
1)Academic probation. Can you withdraw? What should you do?
2)Your mental health issues. Does that give you the chance to withdraw/make changes?</p>

<p>I feel like it’s too late for that…the semester’s ended. I’ve taken my finals and now we’re just waiting for teachers to put up grades. Talking to an academic counselor wouldn’t make a diff…I’m back home now…Unless I go back after the break is over and ask what my next options are. And my depression wasn’t documented, I just thought it was a phase and that I’d get out of it soon enough. It started over the summer when I screwed up in Math and it just followed me through the next semester.</p>
