<p>Hello </p>

<p>I started studies 5 years ago but failed so much. I had lost two years in a row and then dropped out of it in two years. I don’t have a single grade in my index. Now I started it again in the same college and sice I don’t have a single grade in my index, I want to excel. But I want to know whether colleges like Harvard, Ox…, Cambri… could accept me for Master degree cases like me. Will my lost years be an obstacle to gain admission in these colleges?</p>

<p>Yes. You will need to demonstrate consistent academic success with high grades and high GRE test scores to be admitted to elite graduate programs.</p>

<p>Really??? Do you know someone who has failed like me and got there ??</p>

<p>I don’t understand your situation. Are you saying that you got two years of failing grades in college, dropped out for two years, and have just started back? If so, your college may replace your failing grades in courses with the grade that you get when retaking them, so your final record could be salvageable. But you’d be essentially starting college all over again. It’s way too soon to be concerned about getting into top grad schools - you need to be concerned with getting on a successful track in college after the layoff.</p>

<p>if you can come back with a BAM and do incredibly well in grades the rest of your college years. What gadad said was true: If you can retake your classes, then ur transcript will look better.
Do some research on what kind of students they like, and model yourself to be like that.

<p>It’s also a fairly important question that what’s the level/ranking of your current college…nevertheless you still have a lot of time to think about grad school.</p>

<p>Some schools have an “academic amnesty” program that allows students, with sufficient justification, to have entire semesters deleted from their transcripts. I’d speak to an administrator about it, but often it would only be justified AFTER you demonstrated a sustained record of high performance.</p>

<p>You could also start fresh at an entirely new school and not transfer any transcripts from your old one. Typically you’re supposed to transfer your old transcripts, but who would know?</p>

<p>Lastly, you could always accept the fact that mistakes have consequences and there are many other great schools you can aim for without aiming at the VERY top (e.g. Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, etc.).</p>
