(Business Major)
So long story short during the Fall of 2015 i was attending a community college and i failed two classes, received Ds in another two, and a C in another. This happened because my car broke down less than a month after the withdrawl date and i was unable to attend regularly due to the fact that i had to work to fix my car, so i was forced to do the best that i could given my situation.
However, after taking the year off school to work full time i returned to school in the Fall of 2016 and managed to make straight A’s. This current semester i am hoping to make straight A’s again, which would bump my GPA up to a 4.0 for my college, however most competitive universities would still factor the grades from the semester in which my car broke down into my GPA, which would result in a less than fantastic GPA (3.38).
I guess what i’m asking is how much will this hurt my chances in getting into a good school? I’m really hoping to transfer into NC State next Spring and i just want to know if i could still be considered competitive enough to get in due to the fact that i’m able to make Presidents list two semesters in a row.
