Hi, I was recently placed on Academic dismissal from my University. I was wondering if my appeal is okay. Is there anything I need to add or take out?
I am writing to appeal my dismissal from ********** University. I had a rough second year at *******, with a GPA of a 1.8 (failing) due to several deaths in my family and depression following these hardships. I had a total of 3 deaths in my family within a time frame of 2-3 months. My grandmother, and 2 close cousins which were sudden deaths. Due to the deaths in my family I had to return home to Arkansas immediately on short notice, preventing me from attending class for long periods of time. I should have sought help and accommodations.
However, my first year attending ********** I achieved a GPA of at least a 3.2. I achieved this by hard work, meeting in study groups, and dedication to putting my education before everything in my life. I am hoping that my GPA from my first year demonstrates that I am hardworking and knows how to succeed. I am also hoping that you all will give me another chance to display this dedication to pursue my dreams and continue my education at ********** University.
