<p>Well I just graduated high school last june, decided to take a semester off to backpack Europe, mom freaked out, forced me to take online classes from the local community college, since I mostly sleeping in train stations and such, I did not have a place of residence, could not get books sent to me, and the only internet access I could get was when I occasionally wandered near a hotel that had wifi, and stole it from them. Needless to say, this did not work out well at all, 3 W’s and a F. Thanks Mom.
Now, two things to consider, I live in L.A. and I want to get my masters in professional writing. The only school in LA that offers such a Masters is USC. I’m freaking out a bit, since USC does not appreciate 2 W’s and a F.
Keep in mind I am an exceptional honors student, and when I do get back to LA in a couple weeks, I will kick ass in school, deans list and all, for however the duration I am there (2 years of 3 if necessary depending on what I need to get done to get in the MPW program at USC.) I have heard a couple different things…</p>
<li>Don’t even try anymore, USC will automatically laugh at you when they see 2 W’s & a F</li>
<li>If you explain why that happened with your app, it will help them understand, and you wont be automatically excluded (especially if everything else is perfect, I.E. grades, deans list, letters of rec, work experience stuff.)</li>
<li>Explain what happened to your CC and they will wipe the grades.</li>
<li>(little unusual, I’ve never heard this) Just leave that CC right away, and attend a new CC, and whatever classes you took at your old CC wont count anymore.</li>
</ol>
<p>Since USC is the only school that offers study in my field, this is a big problem, come on guys and gals, input please!
