How does affect a F grade?

Applying to College
1

<p>-I got a F grade in the first semester. Therefore, in the second semester, I re-took the class which I had got the F and got a A.</p>

<p>Question.</p>

<p>-I would like to transfer to another college later. Is there any dis-advantage because of a F grade on my college history?</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing your time to read my message.</p>

<p>This is the explanation.</p>

<p>Actually, the English is not my native tongue, and I have been in the U.S. since three months before the college starts. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, in the first semester, I wasn’t familier with specific words of math and a calculator. ( I had never used a calculator in the class before.) </p>

<p>Therefore, I was tried to drop the class, but an international-stuedent adviser said that I could not drop the class because I am a full-time student.
(I must take at least 12 credits in a semester.)</p>

<p>And I was totally losted in the class and got a F. </p>

<p>However, in the second semester, I had prepared the class which I failed and got a A.</p>

<p>Now I’m waiting for the third semester. </p>

<p>I don’t know this one could be a GOOD explanation. :frowning: If you would give me any mention about the explanation, I appreciate it. :)</p>

<p>Thank you for reading, guys.</p>
