Hello everyone,
I have taken classes in 3 college systems and am about to finish up in University #3. I didn’t take my SAT scores so I started by taking classes at community college and a hometown university for 2 years. During that time, I got okay grades in the community college (like a 3.4?) and mild grades at the University (3.1). I also got two Ws in over the course of my second year. Lastly, there were two relevent classes in my jaor that I got bad grades in, which I retook and got much better grades (I turned two Ds into Bs). The environment was very toxic and I was dealing with some serious mental health issues as documented as well as getting back used to going to school as I started university after getting out of the Army.
After my second year, I transferred to University #3 which is where I am currently finishing up my senior year. I am looking for grad school and am currently sitting on a 3.5 GPA. I am aware that grad schools look at ALL transcripts and I am concerned about my past. I am involved with a large number of extracurricular and relevant work experience (as well as I have had work published in a journal). I am curious if my previous experiences will ruin me?
