| That's messed. Fight it, and hard. Apeal it and write letters. I've seen people write their way back in who have the worse grades ever. I'm sure someone as educated as you make youself seem to be can get back in. It's a matter of contacting the right people. |

Community college.... online classes... its really not as difficult as your making it out. |
Yeah but community colleges don't offer 4 year degrees. And online schools usually don't offer a good choice of programs. If you want a good degree like chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, or similar then you have to go to a real school.
And to the OP definitely try to appeal. I know all of the schools I've gone to you have to reapply if you're gone for a semester, but they're supposed to automatically let you in if you're in good standing at any other institutions attended. |

| I'd understand if I bs'd my way through cc and then tried to get back into a uni. But I didn't do that. I got back into an affordable school and worked really, really hard. Managed to even make it on the Deans list. |

been there, done that.
you can only get your AA at a cc.
an actual bachelors you have to finish at a uni. |
That's what i am trying to do right now. Finish two AA's at a CC so i can transfer to MIT.
I am trying to do both Comp Sci + Comp Engineering at once. Maybe if i can prove ubernerd-ness they will overlook the fact that it's taken me forever to get here. I can't wait to explain what the hell happened. It's like a bad Michael Bay plot. I haven't had a single semester where things didn't blow up to high hell in new and interesting ways that i didn't imagine possible. it's seriously like my life finds the most creative ways to break when something important is going on for school.
and i totally understand the backup school thing + family pressure.
i am the oldest of four kids and the only one in a non-Ivy League type school.
it's super fun to go to family gatherings "and what are you doing..." |

I know the feeling
I dropped one class "too many times" which was like 2 and they banned me from taking it there so I had to transfer to another school to take that ONE class because I NEEDED it.
I dropped it because school + full time work is hard & I was a full time student @ the time taking 4 classes :whip: |

due to a medical reason... (spending months in a cast/crutches/cane)
i had to drop 2.5 semesters worth of classes and get incompletes in the classes i thought i could finish later. because of that i now am not eligible for financial aid even though i have A's in my other classes. So i now have to fix all the old classes so i can have the gov't help me pay for school. There should be a "duress" clause because let me tell you, all those f-ing lab fees i have suck my non-existent left testicle.
Don't even get me started on what my books cost.
It sucks... i hate trying to move forward while walking backwards fixing the old. |

I just applied to a private uni. It's going to multiply my costs 8 times but I'm just so pissed off I don't even want to step foot on that stupid ing campus ever again.
The private uni is willing to help me with financial aid right away and put me in classes in August where the old school told me I'd have to pay out of pocket my first year back.
take that you sons of bitches! |
