W&M, no hope?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Here is my problem, I got an A.S. with a 3.5 GPA, then was pushed into a dental hygiene program by family and advisers, realized my suspicions that it is not for me were true and withdrew while having some medical issues. However, I received 3 f’s and now my GPA is a 3.0… </p>

<p>My dream is to do research at W&M, but do I have any hope of getting in or is all lost because of my bad choice?</p>

<p>Any suggestions that might make me stand or or be more competitive?</p>

<p>Should I give up? The advisers that pushed me into dental now tell me that they don’t take transfers under a 3.6 GPA and to go elsewhere…</p>

<p>Feeling heartbroken. :(</p>

<p>I would try retaking the courses that you failed, but W&M will look at you if you try! Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you for your positive attitude lexieam!</p>

<p>You can not retake the classes, as you must be in the program to access them. I read that William & Mary include the original grades when factoring GPA anyways… Should I spend a year taking languages and what I think they might like to see? My GPA will still not be repaired even if I made all A’s…</p>
