Feeling Pressure to Enroll, Advice Needed!

[MDW2447]

That's right, I recommend doing the "failed" courses again to bring up the GPA.  It's not the BA you're after, we can get something at the Big 3 just for the sake of checking the box that you have a Bachelors and using courses at TESU to bring up the GPA just a tad bit... However, It's the Masters that will look at the last 30-60 undergrad credits for admissions to any competitive entry program.  

It won't really matter if the majority of your credits to the Big 3 are alternative-test-out credits, they will still look at "some" sort of GPA from graded RA credits.  You can boost that GPA significantly by getting rid of the F's...  The only way to do it is to redo the course... I would really speak with admissions to the MS Counselling program and ask specifically about GPA.

Thanks for the reply. 

Perhaps the solution could be to apply for an academic renewal to wipe the bad semester out. According to http://onlinecatalog.nku.edu/content.php...ic-renewal, I could enroll, complete 12 hours (of courses I would need anyway for BA Psych), then apply for the renewal. 

REALLY wish my younger self knew what a mess I was creating!
