I am a sophomore in college and just finished my fall semester. I was on academic probation and now that I got my grades back I still didn’t reach a 2.0 for the semester. I got an email saying I can write a letter to appeal. I just wanted to know the chances of my appeal being successful, or should I just get ready to pack my stuff to bring back home. I wonder if they would be understanding since I did get a 1.93 GPA for the semester, and if I was a letter grade up I would have never got an email saying I was disqualified.
Why would they be understanding? It sounds like you got in trouble for plagiarizing or something. Colleges don’t want students who don’t do well and don’t do good things. Sorry, but I don’t think you’re going to get a lot of leeway here.
Is there reason to think that you can realistically achieve the required 2.0?+? Do you want to?
If you want to, and if you have already taken steps to improve your grades, and you got close this term a letter pointing out those things, with your clear plan for continuing to get your grades up could well make a difference.
Your college accepted you b/c they thought you would be successful & they want you to succeed, but it doesn’t help anybody to keep a student who can’t -for whatever reason- do the work required to graduate.
