So I went into Wake Forest as an aspiring Bio major, and premed student, and took Chem 111, Bio 113, History 109 and a Writing seminar. The semester was very trying mentally, emotionally, as well as academically. In high school I wasn’t the best student either, I went to a top public school and graduated with a 3.0, so I don’t even know how I got into Wake. So my GPA for the first semester is a 1.58 I think, I received a D- in Bio, a C in Chemistry, a C- in the Chem lab, a C+ in History, and a D in Writing. Is there any hope for me to continue onto any graduate school? I am definitely switching my thoughts of a major after this semester as well. Will I even be able to remain a student at Wake with this GPA? What are my options right now?
