<p>Hello all, I'm new to posting and lately I've been feeling extremely discouraged about college. To start out, I got my Associates degree at a community college before I went to the State college I'm attending now. I spent a lot of time at community college trying to figure out what I wanted to do, dropped a lot of classes (got D's and C's in gen ed classes), went part time, took a semester off, But at the time I was also working one part time job and one full time job just to pay for college and basic living. (I have absolutely no help from my parents), I finally settled that I want to do something in the Biology field. It's my junior year of college. and I worked HARD, I study every night, read the chapters, all the homework. I felt like I was doing everything right. But for some reason I was still getting C's and D's...I finally went and saw a Physiologist after noticing how I couldn't remember things I studied (over and over again) and anxiety during tests (and then failing the test adding MORE anxiety!) He has Diagnosed me with ADHD. I'm doing a lot better now that I've been seeing him, working on my study habits and taking medication. But it's not enough to save my grades this semester (Physic II-D, Chemistry II-C, and Genetics C) I'm afraid I'm going to be put on academic probation with my GPA of 2.1. My original plan was applying for vet school, since I've been working as a Veterinary Technician I've loved every aspect of it. But with my grades I would never get in, so I've decided after graduation to apply for the Medical Lab technician program after graduating but even that program requires me have to have a GPA of 3.0. I was wondering if anyone else as had a similar situation, is there a way to bring my GPA up closer to a 3.0 in three more semesters I'll be taking 300-500 level science classes, but with as many classes as I've taken throughout the years, I feel like there's no hope unless I want to retake every single class I've gotten a C or worse in...advice? Would my GRE scores and experience be enough to get into Vet School?</p>
<p>your not alone, i was like you, and still like you,(minus the mental issues). Ive been in ccsf for so long i couldve gotten 2 degrees by now(hint). i transferred to STATE univ last fall, and i wanted to change my major to zoology, however before this semester i changed to cell and molecular, but i regret it now since it screwed up my graduation plan. BA and BS in biology are pretty useless you get a grad degree. Maybe you can take 1 science course at a time, to see how you can handle it. Its best to seek outside studying with classmates or tutors. Go to the professors office hours for help, and go to advisors to see your graduation plans</p>
