<p>Sorry for long read, but if you respond, I appreciate it very much.</p>
<p>Hello all,
So, long story short, I go to Umass Amherst.
I dealt with depression. And while I was getting treatment I should have taken time off, but I didn't. Biggest mistake of my life.
As a result I have:
29 completed credits.
3.28 GPA
One F (retaking the class), one C- (retaking the class)
7 Withdrawals (most are from important classes, some have more than one in the same class. Four came in one semester where I completely withdrew from school). I take responsibility for these. It was hard to convince my mom to let me take time off and still go back
If my classes were to end RIGHT NOW for this semester (just after midterms ended).I'd have: A (in the class I got an F in), A-/B+ (In the class I got a C- in). B (this class is actually a class I'm having a bit of trouble with). A (Gen-ed). This would give me ~3.35 GPA And 44 credits at the time of application, and I'd likely have 15-16 in progress.</p>
<p>The schools I'm looking at are: Northeastern, Emmanuel, BU. Northeastern is by far my top choice. I would be applying as a Health Science major. I am applying to these schools b/c I want to be closer to home, not necessarily for an academic upgrade. I am just unhappy where I am, and I think that contributed to my depression.</p>
<p>Does anybody have any idea how the many Ws would impact me? I feel like if I had ~3.3-3.4 without the Ws, I'd be far more confident. But the Ws are real. And truthfully speaking, I am a much, MUCH, better student than I would have been without them. Because I feel like every single grade, be it a major class or a crappy Gen ed, has so much more importance than if I didn't have 7 Ws. There's not a single assignment I have done since the semester.</p>
<p>(Note: I put a lot of personal information here. Enough that if someone I know reads this, they'd recognize it's me. If by some small chance you do recognize me, I'd appreciate if it was never brought up lol).</p>
