<p>Im new to this forum and found it while searching for answers on google. Im pretty bummed and was hoping while I play the waiting game if somebody who had experience in my situation could give me any kind of answers.</p>
<p>About three years ago while in my first semester at Los angeles valley I was taking a business and real estate class. At the time thats what I was interested in doing. After I got pregnant and was going through some complications I stopped going. This will sound dumb but I didnt realize or maybe wasnt even thinking about it, and instead of dropping the classes I just stopped going. So it resulted in my having two F's on my GPA.</p>
<p>A year and half ago I started at valley again and realized that I would love to be a registered nurse so I started taking some classes. They put me on academic probation because of the 2 F's on my GPA. So I finished my second semester with one B in pyschology and my English class was a pass/no pass and I passed that.</p>
<p>This semester I enrolled in 4 classes. I took English, Anthropology, Math and Pyschology. Well English I ended up dropping before the deadline. Anthropology and Psychology I recieved both A's. With physcology I havent received my final grade but it wont be less than a B. Math I failed and my grade is going to be an F.</p>
<p>Since I'm on academic probation, it states on LAVC's website that if I don't bring my GPA to a 2.00 by two consecutive semesters than its a possibility that I will be dismissed from financial aid and college. I think LAVC is about $3000 or so a semester and theres just no way I can pay that.</p>
<p>I calculated my GPA on lavc and I think it falls just below a 2.00. I'm just so bummed right now. Being a nurse and finishing college is so important to me and especially to give my daughter a better life. </p>
<p>Since I have a drop class and 3 F's I feel that LAVC is going to dismiss me from financial aid.
Has anybody been in a similiar experience like this and was still able to attend college and recieve financial aid? :/ Im sad and depressed today.</p>
