I’ve currently been dismissed from UF for my embarrassing academic performance this past year. i was hoping you would take the time to chance my unique situation. I see dismissal as an opportunity for me to correct some of the bad habits I’ve attributed over the years and to start fresh with a good mindset.

So here’s the story, and I’ll try to be brief:

I was originally accepted to both UF and FSU during Fall 2010. My HS GPA was something around 4.3 and my ACT score composite, a 25. During high school I completed my Associates degree through dual enrollment and finished about 66 credits before entering UF with the AA GPA of 2.9.

After a year at UF with a 1.60 GPA, yes thats right, one point six zero, it brings my cumulative (across all institutions attended) to a 2.30. However, I generally excel in liberal arts classes especially Political Science. Even at UF, in the three Political Science courses I had taken, my Polysci GPA was a 3.7 (Not including the two courses I took during DE with a 4.0 GPA).

I know FSU requires a 3.0 cumulative to enter as a transfer and when they see my transcripts from UF the admissions committee will probably $hit their pants, but please chance me anyway. Flunking out of UF was not really a fun experience and I actually do have a chance of getting back in for the Spring, but I’m hedging my bets with FSU just in case. Note that you shouldn’t take offense to the last sentence since you guys have an outstanding Polysci dept anyway ;).

Thanks, and let me know if I left any vital information out.

Be brutally honest!!!

On a side note, the November FSU v. UF game will be interesting. Whom should I root for, hmmmm…
