<p>I also partied my first year, even to the point of being placed on suspension for one semester. However, I stuck with it, graduate with an overall GPA of around 3.1 while math GPA around 3.7. Then, I went to a middle of the road MSc. program and showed some potential. Do to this I was able to get into a very respectable PhD program. So, not saying everything that happened to me will happen to you, but don’t give up, just concentrate on your courses now and perhaps go the MSc. to PhD route rather than directly to PhD.</p>
