Should I apply for deferral?

Hi moonasg,
Please talk to an advisor, they will probably be able to help you more than any of us can.

I don’t quite know if you’re currently at McGill but if you are, I have heard from friends that your first exam deferral is usually the easiest to get. Definitely talking to an advisor will help, just tell them what you’ve written here.

Also, one exam won’t break your academic career. I failed a math course on my first year (I was in another school) and I thought I just flushed away my chance to transfer to McGill. I worked hard in subsequent semesters and here I am now.

Good luck and I hope things get better (and believe me, they do!).
