<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I am an undergraduate student wanting to transfer to UT, but I have a serious transcript problem. Okay, in the summer I took a few courses. This seemed like such a great idea at the time, but the classes were so compressed with 3 courses and a lab and I was doing research at the same time so I ended up withdrawing from a science course and its lab. </p>

<p>Now in the fall semester, I had to withdraw again from a science course AND a lab. The science course because the professor was terrible and I just could not prepare for his test adequately no matter how much I tried to study outside the class. And I had to withdraw from the lab too because my lab partner was so uncooperative I ended up getting a sequence of bad grades in the lab. </p>

<p>Now it seems like I technically have four withdrawals, but ughh…it really should be just two. And how much will this hurt my admission chance? My GPA is 3.6. I’m not a bad student. I’ve just had terrible luck in this summer and now fall.</p>

<p>i had several withdrawals on my record… i think 3 or 4. i repeated most, but not all, of the classes and got good grades in them the second time around. i think when i applied my gpa was 3.6-3.8… i got in.
just try not to withdraw from any more. i believe they look more favorably upon something that happened once or twice in a short period of time rather than something that has become a regular pattern.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot. Sounds reassuring, though obviously I’m still a bit worried.</p>
