Hi I’m currently a 3rd year undergraduate Psychology student hoping to apply to an occupational therapy masters program after I graduate.
My concern right now is that I have 2 Fs and 2 Ws on my transcript, although I have a 3.5 GPA.
1st W was in a nursing-specific Chemistry class in my freshman year. I withdrew because 1) I switched my major to psychology and it was only for nursing students and 2) if I stayed it would have dropped my GPA.
2nd W was for an Intro Research Methods class required to declare Psychology. I despised the class structure and professor and the class ran until 10 pm and all sorts of creepy things kept happening on the streets when I went home, which ultimately led to my decision. I retook the class that summer at a community college and got an A.
My first F was in my freshman year in a GE class that I simply did not show up to. I retook that class and got an A the next semester.
2nd F is currently in my third year in an online Personality class for Psychology. I took more classes than I usually do this semester and I wasn’t able to keep up with this one online class. I was going to get a C in the class so I purposely failed it to retake it later with an A.
I know you’re not supposed to have any bad grades in the last two years of college or have too many Ws so my confidence is pretty low, but please be brutally honest with how much this is going to affect admissions’ view of my grades.
