I started taking Community College Classes when I was 15. When I graduated from High school, I had 47 college credits, and a 3.7 or 3.8 GPA. I was a very good student. I started at university, as a bio major because I was in love with medicine and zoology. Well my plans changed once I started classes, and realized I had no aptitude for it. I never took chem or physics of math in high school (my mother had homeschooled me other than the community college classes, and i couldnt keep up in subjects i had no prior foundation in). I hated it.

Long story short, I had a really rough couple semesters. I took really hard classes and just got burnt out. This year,I changed my major to Psychology and decided that I was better suited for law school. My gpa is climbing quickly and I’m doing very well, in addition to loving my classes for the first time in my life.

I just read something about the CAS service though–they collect all your transcripts. I’ve taken online classes from several community colleges. And I know for a fact, out of all of those…I have a F in a statistics class. I also have a 1 credit F in a chemistry lab. And 2 W’s…both in the same math class. Im panicking. Will this greatly hurt my chances of getting into law school? My undergrad GPA at university is good, AS IS ONE OF MY COMMUNITY COLLEGE GPA’S (the one wiht 47 credits.). I’m panicking.
