bruhh Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 petition the mark off your transcript. If you have the evidence that you claim then it shouldn't be too hard to take it off your transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGrisham Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Confused, the stats you posted above; are those with the condition of keeping the course, but having it removed due to the various schools calculation policies? Or is it assuming you did well on the course keeping status quo, and maintained full load? Please clarify, i could just be tired and misreading..

Wannabedoctorzab Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 petition the mark off your transcript. If you have the evidence that you claim then it shouldn't be too hard to take it off your transcript. My concern is that it's full year. I'm very very very troubled right now as literally my whole future is crashing down due to one grade (and yes I have ALL the necessary proofs ranging from medical notes from my doctor, anti depressant prescriptions, counselor reports, etc) Confused, the stats you posted above; are those with the condition of keeping the course, but having it removed due to the various schools calculation policies? Or is it assuming you did well on the course keeping status quo, and maintained full load? Please clarify, i could just be tired and misreading.. This is assuming that I maintain a FULL COURSELOAD throughout 3 years of university BUT the grade for the FAILING course is REMOVED (I believe the term is aegrotat standing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks_14 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Getting aegrotat standing at my old school meant that it is still counted towards your GPA. Check this at yours to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulOT Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 As it's required for your degree, why not look into summer school or online offerings elsewhere? Withdraw and redo the next year is always an option. Don't risk your entire future on one class, being a doctor can be delayed slightly if need be even. Your mental health should be a priority.

JohnGrisham Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 AEG is a viable option, buy generally that still assigns a grade based on work you have done. You need to do really well on the remainder of the course and then pursue what options you have. Nso you haven't answered, but is it even possible to drop this class on your own accord right now? (Most schools it would be way too late at this point). You should oreally be comparing your GPAs in terms of option 1: dropping the course and losing full load for the year or 2. Keeping the course with bad mark and keeping full load. The 3rd option you proposed with keeping full load but getting credit for the class isn't currently in play.

Wannabedoctorzab Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Aegrotat does not assign a grade guys. I have received one before. It just says AEG on my transcript for the courses (2) I received it on FOR LAST SEMESTER. This FULL year course was also last semester HENCE why my grade is so in the gutter. Also, postponing med school isn't an option. I can't even tell my family of my depression and when they hear I'm trying to postpone... Idk what will happen. But this is a separate story on its own and I don't want to go into further details. My question is, what should I do about a course that I'm failing because I had a seriously BAD semester. There is no hope of recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 If all else fails, drop it. Sure you may lose full time status and may have to take a year off, but a 3.7 isn't too below average for medical school where a 3.4 will pretty much exclude you from medical school in Canada, which will take a lot more to overcome (Second degree etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aang Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Full-time status vs. a failing grade? You definitely should have dropped it. Now if you drop, it will probably show up on your transcript. Talk to someone at your institution, show your proof and say that you must drop it for your well-being. Seriously, for future reference maintaining a full course load is negligible compared to a failing/ low grade on your transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
