    I was on probation my first three semesters of college. Today I am a senior director in finance for a biotech. I found a way. There is always a way if you hang out with the right people and decide you will succeed no matter what.

      @@Kc-qe5dv I would definitely go the community college route if money is an issue. There is no reason for pay 4 year college fees for the first two years of a four year degree unless money is no object. I had one more semester to get off of probation (4th semester) or I would be expelled. I turned it around that 4th semester and got a 3.0, so I was never expelled. Good luck! Don't give up - stay on course and you will succeed if you want it bad enough.

    I’m pretty sure I failed a class of mine (passed grade wise but won’t count as a prerequisite to another course I plan to take), I have a final tmr and my other class I passed with an A. I once too was honour roll student during high school. The change from high school to university, especially during covid with it being online made it real difficult to stay structured. Next semester will hopefully be better as I have in person classes for the majority. Even though I’m picking up one extra class this upcoming semester, I feel as though I will be able to concentrate better and raise my grades. As for the class I’m sure I failed, I currently feel like a disappointment and am sitting here self loathing. But at some point I started to think that I just need to re plan things. Re take the course and then take the one after that is required (takes longer and is annoying but needed). At the end of the day I could’ve tried harder, studied more or not had underestimated the class/workload. With that being said, I need to stay resilient and re plan.

    • @WillKalili
      @WillKalili  Před 2 lety +2

      You will be ok regardless! Even if you have to take the course again like I did. I took tutoring courses and finally passed after my 3rd try 🙈
      If you are not satisfied with your GPA as you get closer to graduating, you can stick around for an extra summer or extra semester to take easy classes and raise your GPa

    I am in the same boat.
    I was co-valedictorian in my class but when I went into college, I got a 2.72 GPA in my first semester. I slacked off in the second half of the semester.
    But I got back in my second one. I got a C+ in a programming course in the first semester but am now on track for a B in another one now, as I got above average for everything being an underdog, with one assignment reaching 10 marks above average. I got B in a math course but now I am taking two and am on track to get an A in both now (especially stats, the average of the second assignment was much lower than usual, which caused me to get 11 marks above the average)

    • @WillKalili
      @WillKalili  Před 2 lety +1

      Great to hear you're back on track. If I could redo my undergrad, I would've stuck around for an extra semester to take some elective classes that would boost my GPA. Sounds like you're on track and won't need to do that!

      ​@@WillKaliliI ended up with around 3.1 each in the next three semesters, and this semester it may be even higher than that, as I scored in the top-25% of the class in three midterms. My classes often distribute 25% of A-range and 35% of B-range grades.

    I’m failing one class, and my prof making my life. A living hell. I do good on homework and quizzes. I fail one exam, and I’m already getting emails about me withdrawing. I only failed my math exam, because I couldn’t understand the word problems . I understand everything else. The word problems threw me off. Even when I understand some topics she do on some boards and prove to her . I understand. It’s still not enough. There’s even times when the class don’t know the answer but I do. But I never get credit, cuz I’m too scared to speak out . Im just annoyed and frustrated. I was a previously an iep student. So adjusting to pre calc math, is a bit of a struggle. It dosent help shr give us homework 24-7. When it barley helps out grades Not giving us enough time to study

      Keep doing your best. I know it's hard. But you will get through this. If you're struggling with the word problems, focus enough on those to better understand what the problem is asking for. Sometimes the word problems throw in unnecessary information to throw you off. Also, keep focusing on the problems you're already good at. No matter what happens, you will get through this :)
