i really need some advice please!

<p>This is kind of embrassing to talk about...but I just needed some advice.</p>

<p>ok, I'm finishing up my second year at NOVA which is a community college. My first two semesters at NOVA I did well. I got mostly A's with a 1 or two B's. Anyways after that my grades went really down. Everything in my life was awful. I got diagnosed with depression and I had to take a semster off because i was getting therapy. Anyways, I went back the next semester but I guess it was too early still. I did not do well at all. I failed one class and withdrew from the other. I was only going part-time. The next semester I took another class and ended up withdrawing again because I was just under so much stress. </p>

<p>The next two semesters I did really well again. By this point, I was no longer receiving therapy or on medication so I could fully concentrate. This is the third semster in a row that I am doing well. I want to apply to George Mason because its close and I dont want to go somewhere far. Besides, I dont think I could get into any other school. I am just wondering what they will say when they see my transcript and the ugly grades in the middle of it. Would it be better if I told them of my situation or would they look at it in a negative way? I'm really worried because I really want to be able to get into a 4-yr school by the fall. If anyone could give me any advice, I would really appreciate it. By the way, does anyone know the normal GPA's to get into George Mason University located in fairfax, va?</p>

<p>What do you think the college would say? lol I think everyone is thinking what you would think rite now.</p>

<p>i don't know what crazymaster meant by his last post but the fact is maryam that of course george mason won't like the fact that you did poorly for a period of community college; however, you absolutely MUST write about your depression in your essays and not withold that info. there is no way they can hold it against you; depression is a disease not a weakness and nowadays everybody knows that. there are instances all over the place of colleges accepting that a student did poorly for a period as a result of personal issues, your case should be no different, especially because you've been doing well recently.</p>
