The problem I have is I have 7 Fs in my first transcript, all of them from different years. The reason for these Fs is because I had to prioritize work over college during these times and didn't complete any of these courses (otherwise I would have gotten good grades in all of them! I regret taking these courses at the wrong times, wish I had discovered DegreeForum and TESU years ago!). How can I expect this to affect me while applying for graduate school?
My math shows you'd need 60 additional credits at "A" to bring your overall GPA to a 3.0
(63 credits @ 4.0 + 21 credits at 0.00 = 3.0)
Dfrecore's suggestion of replacing those 7 courses AT THE COLLEGE YOU EARNED THE "F" is certainly a lot less work and cost.
