I just want to give you the biggest hug. HMC is an amazing place but i have heard that academically it is really stringent. How are your friends feeling there? Are you all leaning on each other to get through this really tough core time? For my D it does help when she knows she’s not alone in the grind and she’s working together with friends/study mates to get through it. Also, is there tutoring? I know your time is probably limited with your sports team, but it might help. It would be frustrating for sure to be working to hard and feel like you’re still not doing well, but I’m sure you’re not alone in this feeling. Cut yourself a big amount of slack and keep remembering that B’c and C’s are totally fine. It REALLY tells you something that in the history of Mudd only 8 kids have gotten 4.0s. Keep that in mind at all times ; )
It’s good you reached out to health and wellness, I’m sorry it wasn’t more helpful. I would try again, really letting them know how you’re feeling. Also, can you talk to an academic counselor about how you’re feeling? Maybe they can offer up some ideas.
Finally, I know the deadline to transfer has passed but since Mudd is part of the Claremont Consortium I wonder if there would be anyway to try to transfer to one of the other Claremont schools (if you even have interest).
Again, sending a you a big mom hug…
