kind of a desperate situation

Okay so the sparknotes version of my story is: I am a freshman Pharm D. student at Saint John’s University. SJU is quite pricey. I enrolled because I believed I would be receiving financial assistance from my mother for my tuition, but she ended up changing her mind. As a result, I’ve had to work A LOT to pay the difference, and my grades are awful.

My first semester gpa is around 1.76. This semester I am pulling up my grades a bit even though I am still working 30+ hours a week on top of classes.

My question is: Will I be able to get into SUNY Farmingdale, Laguardia or Queensborough to study nursing prerequisites?

My high school grades and SAT scores are great. I was accepted to St John’s University and NYU. I am normally a good student, I’ve just been really struggling in my personal life this year.

I’m concerned because I don’t have this semester’s grades on record so all the admissions offices will see is the 1.76 from last semester.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated; thank you so much if you can help! :)
