<p>I got sent a request for spring grades by the university of southern california. First term i had a cumulative 3.5 when i applied. This term, im looking at a 3.2...I took 5 classes and got As in 4 of them. I got one F!!!! I had to miss the final because my dad had a cardiac arrest and family takes precedence over finals, plus my professor was too much of a hard a$$ to let me take it any other time (i talked to him the next day). So without that F i would have been a lot better off. </p>
<p>When i send in my grades to USC can I explain that i missed the final and subsequently got an F? I feel like they may just auto reject me. that would give me an overall gpa of like 3.35. What do you all think? no specific major. applying as a sophomore from a CC.</p>
