Hardtimes has a right to be ****ed. The college isn’t doing /you/ a favor - you’re paying FORTY GRAND to attend (if it’s private). It’s ridiculous that any staff, even the dean of the college, thinks they can be nasty to CUSTOMERS. That’s what you are - a customer. And being treated like crap will send any $100,000+ paying customer up the wall.

But unfortunately, that’s life, no matter how seething you are or how much right you have to be seething, sometimes you need to suck it up. You could transfer out of principal - but is that really want you want if you love the school otherwise?

In life you will have to deal with unfair situations, and you need to milk them so that they don’t end up hurting you more than they should. Letting her get the best of you will only be furthering your cause. Send her a nice little apology (NO veiled insults), and in four years when the time comes to apply to med school, have perfect grades and great MSAT scores, and who cares about that one silly bio class you couldn’t take? Although she sounds like a jerk, she’s is NOT ruining your academic career. Only you will do that to yourself. In four years she won’t even remember you, but you’ll remember poor choices you made b/c you were in a slump, and then you’ll have no one but yourself to blame.

Good luck, don’t get down!
