Hey College Confidential Peeps. This is my first time posting. Ive chosen to write this mainly because I feel depressed, anxious, and all around scared shitless that my acceptance to Rutgers Nursing might be rescinded due to something really stupid, but first, allow me give you some backstory:
I come from a family of exceptionally high achievers (siblings going to Harvard, Columbia, and a great tech school), and up until this point, have gauged my success relative to theirs. When I was accepted to Rutgers Nursing this past year, I barely paused to celebrate, instead choosing to invest myself further in the possibility of going to Cornell, UMich, or Wash U, schools I have all since been rejected from. I viewed my achievement as a prerequisite for anyone with my last name, and up until these past couple days, my decision to attend Rutgers, as an embaressment. Now, I’m caught in a really shitty situation. Because I never valued this achievement, I completely dropped the ball on my grades. Heres what they look like:
12th
Semester 1
Physics: A-
Calc: A
History: A
AP Lit: B
Semester 2
Physics: C
Calc: B-
History: A-
AP Lit: A-
(SAT 1470/1600 + GPA 3.42 before 2nd semester)
My second semester Physics grade was previously a B+ but was dropped more than a letter grade thanks to my school’s “residency” I stupidly violated at my school. On the bright side I’m working with my school to possibly get this resolved. however on the dark side, the transcript has already been sent and apparently Rutgers has started reviewing transcripts. What are my chances for surviving and keeping my position? At this point I’m just thankful to have the chance to attend Rutgers Nursing and make amends for years of underachievement. Any response is greatly appreciated.
