Chance Me / Match Me!

Hi all,

i hope you can help me with this decision. I attended Grossmont Community College and for my first year, i did really well. Maintained a 4.0 GPA. Volunteered with several organizations. I was really getting the hang of things.As a former refugee coming to the US was my second chance to live my dream and work in the science field. Here is where thinks gets difficult for me. I was diagnosed with a mental illness in the fall of my second year. With no support from my family or anyone, I couldn’t cope with school full time and working 40 hours. I was going insane. So i withdrew from all my 5 classes and checked myself in a inpatient psych ward. After a few months of getting back on my feet again. I decided to enroll in school again.I quit my job and just focused on school. But that is when my suicidal tendencies gotten worst. I was very suicidal every moment of the day, which was unbearable.Eventually it made me withdrew all of my 4 classes and seek medical help. I have not attended college ever since fall 2015. I took that time to focus on mental health.

Now fast forward today. I decided to have a fresh start and move to Columbus, Ohio. I plan to enroll into Columbus State Community College as a transfer student. My question is will my W’s effect that? Will it be on my Transfer to a University? Will i have to explain my situation? Will they be understanding? I plan to get A’s and continue my volunteer work and get experience in the science field. My current GPA is 3.6. I have completed 80% of my GE classes. My plans for the future is to get accepted at John Hopkins University. Is that realistic? Has anyone else been in my situation?

Thanks for listening

Are the W’s from high school? I am pretty sure when you transfer you are sending in your previous colleges transcript, not sure what you mean by that.

OP said college.

We don’t know if W’s show on your transcript, that’s a question for your former school. Yes, you may need to explain them, depending on what the new college asks for. Not the gory details, but a reflection of your growth and current involvements and successes. Show them you are now ready and able.

Get through this first. You could always try later for JHU for a masters program. Success often comes in its own steps.
