Nomak-54 08/24/18 4:00:42 PM #1:	I can't get into this early college program I was SO excited to take because my accumulative GPA is 2.88 and not a 3.0? Mean while my current GPA is 3.76?! What the fuck, man?! OK, I made some poor decisions, got a few bad grades, but I changed. I became a much better student. Because of my past mistakes which doesn't define me at all I can't take this opportunity? That is some prime bull shit! Fuck those peoples man, I guess I'm crossing that university off my "check out" list forever. I ain't like West Virginia anyway And then there's this other college university whose course I was really hoping to take (hint: it was my major) But at the LAST MINUTE those mother fuckers added a pre req English course that our school doesn't offer WHAT THE FUCK?! Fuck those peoples to man it's ok I didn't wanna stay in this stupid ass state anyway sorry I'm just really PIPED because my schedule is fucked up and now I can't find a different course to take. The only other course they offer is Sociology (which sounds dumb) but even if I wanted to take it I don't feel comfortable paying $100< for something I may not even like.

GanglyKhan 08/24/18 4:08:48 PM #3:	First two paragraphs: Understandably annoyed. Accumulative GPA is important because they're looking to predict what your 4 year career at univeristy will look like. I agree that it sucks and there should be other ways to get in based on recent history, especially when you've turned around. However, you also have to argue if and why they would or would not accept someone who makes the accumulative mark, but has been bombing courses in their final year. Last paragraph: Gotta learn to deal with it, man. Not everything in life is gonna be something you like. You wanna reach your goals? You're going to have to be content with doing shit you'd rather not do. The sooner you get used to that, the better off you are. <cite>GanglyKhan posted [p:907479629] in Accumulati...

That made him ineligible to retake it for a better grade. Having a grade like that will drag down your GPA immensely, and for him it took at least 3 semesters of studying hard to get higher grades in order to get back to the GPA he was at before.
