<p>I want to major in Petroleum Engineering at A&M!!</p>

<p>but there's a problem, I'm a freshman at Blinn, and I barely went to class for a large portion of this semester due to some serious personal issues and depression.</p>

<p>I should come out with an A in sociology, but other than that, I was dropped from English and should probably have a D or F in Intro Chem. and College Algebra. </p>

<p>Before my freshman year I took six classes through dual credit at Blinn. I made all high A's for the first 3 semesters(US History I, US History II, English 1301, and Fed. Govt), but my last semester of my senior year in HS, I dropped out of dual credit due to similar personal issues. Although, those classes (Engl. 1302, State Govt.) didn't count as F's because I withdrew from the entire college by dropping both.</p>

<p>So after a first semester of being an ass and not having any direction....I finally put my head into picking a major and I did.</p>

<p>Now I've registered for the appropriate classes for my degree plan and I'm ready to do work, but I'm really wondering how a semester of dicking around will affect my later college career and how I can overcome those mistakes admissions wise..</p>

<p>I'm still at Blinn until I can transfer to A&M, which is what I hope I haven't ruined my chances of doing.</p>

<p>any helpful advice/personal anecdotes would be much appreciated,</p>

<p>Thanks, John</p>

<p>See if you can set up a meeting with Dr. Maggard. To do this you need to probably call or stop by the PETE building on campus and speak with Ms. Krueger. You can ask Dr. Maggard to consider certain things when looking at your records. Maybe he would understand your situation and could pass this along to the committee giving you a better chance.</p>

<p>More specifically:</p>

<p>If you don’t feel like or aren’t able to physically go by the Richardson building Krueger’s number is listed here:
[Petroleum</a> Engineering at Texas A&M](<a href=“http://www.pe.tamu.edu/people/Staff.shtml]Petroleum”>http://www.pe.tamu.edu/people/Staff.shtml)
I would recommend calling. If you got a response via email I would be extremely surprised.</p>

<p>If you do feel like going by her room is 501R, not difficult to find at all. Richardson is located on the Northern side of campus right off of Spence street.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>
