It will not impact me whatsoever since I’ve retaken some of the courses anyway, and certain courses are not even required for my major. I also paid out of my own pocket at the time so there is no financial consequences either.

I made an appointment with the new dean for later this week, so we’ll see…

The reason I didn’t do this earlier is because when the bad semester happened, the dean at the time said he’ll withdraw me if I do well for the rest of my undergrad studies. So I waited until I got one more semester left. This dean is the predecessor of the dean that just stepped down. I actually talked to him yesterday about my situation. He told me not to worry about it too much, so we’ll see…

Right now I’m a bit more confident about the prospect of the semester getting withdrawn. However, I kinda doubt that it can be done on time for the application on 9/1. In that case, I can send my current transcript by the deadline, and then send an updated one later. I asked the school I’m applying to regarding this, they said it’s fine. But I’m not sure how this would look. It’s kinda weird and I wonder if the fact the semester got withdrawn would even count if they are going to see that bad semester anyway…
