A minor setback

Well, I didn't get accepted to UAB. My grades at UAH are keeping them from approving my application. I had all Is and 1 F so I did not meet the requirements of a 2.0 transfer GPA. I was really bummed, but I asked the girl what I could do and she said that I could appeal to the Board of Admissions. So, tonight I'm writing letter detailing my plight ( Read more... )

You've been given a terrible disappointment. One of the hard things about turning life around is that the old things you think you let go of haven't let go of you. It's irritating, but look at it as a test of your resolve. There's nothing wrong with letting Jeff State grades overlay your UAH grades. Never give up!

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. I will do my best regardless of the outside circumstances. I also looked into the Wal-Mart 401k, and they dont match anything. At all. They deposit 0-2% of your wages into your account at the end of each year based on how the company did. Everyone got 1% last year and 0 the year before. So I'm looking into better options.

When I went to Cal State, I just started as a freshman, regardless of my performance of UAH, I just never mentioned it, and just used my high school transcripts. Have you thought about this? I still finished in 3 years because of summer classes.

I know several people who have done this, but you can get in serious trouble if it ever comes to light. Mostly, I dont want to break my policy of honesty that I started when all of this first happened. I've been embroiled in far too many webs of deception over the years and I'm content with working a little harder to avoid another.
