I am currently waiting to hear from public 4-year institutions in my state. According to my state, as long as your GPA is a 2.0 or above and a min. amount of credits have been met- you can successfully transfer. Upon calculating what classes transfer, I am about halfway through a BS in Psych at both schools I applied to.
I have experienced some setbacks during my educational career(made a previous post, don't need to go into them). Just want to focus on repairing my GPA.
I plan to use the summer to retake College Alg. and Philosophy. If History to Film is offered- I will add that too. Unfortunately, I failed History to Film because of a citation discrepancy for my final project and because I did not email her back in time she considered it plagiarism (didn't go on my record, I did receive a zero for a HUGE grade).
While I was considering going the nursing route because it is a safer choice- I want to consider completing a BS in psychology. One of the school's I applied to offers a Biopsychology concentration.
I am also going to be shadowing a thoracic surgeon and volunteering at a local hospice center in my area (this spring/summer).

In progress...
Anatomy and Phys II 4 credits
Intro to Sociology 3 credits (retake- i know it was only a C previously but I was doing so for acceptance into nursing/gpa booster for that program)
Intro to Theatre 3 credits
I piled on another humanities credit because for the nursing program you need two and I kept failing (again, suffered some personal/family issues and those classes barely grade anything!).
My question is- even though I have received a total of FOUR F'S on my community college transcripts (all humanities except college algebra). If I retake them and excel, excel in my volunteer and shadowing, complete my BS with all A's and B's, and hopefully find some research to work on... what do my chances look like? Should I just give up?
