+269 You know if you fail a class the world doesn't end so stop stressing and just make sure you work harder next time, amirite?

It's a fucking pain though, so hard to get your GPA up, and that fail is ALWAYS on your transcript, which actually can cause you to not get into the school/faculty of your choice (though if your GPA is sweet, and it's only one course, it's not likely, but still a possibility).

what if you retake the course?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That depends. Usually you take the best mark of the two, but I think it's left on your transcript. But it would be way better to retake it.

My world would end. I'm so anal about grades. I almost failed Calculus, but I convinced my counselor to let me drop it.

Becase everyone knows that when you fail a course, the teacher brands you with the mark of shame so that no college will ever accept you, regardless of the rest of your personal history.

If you get an "F" in a course, most colleges won't take you.

None of the colleges I'm aiming for would accept someone who failed a course

You see, I NEED my grades to get me through college. I don't do enough extracurricular activities, so without my grades, I won't get a good enough scholarship. I need a scholarship. So, every little failing grade makes me want to cry.

Yeah right. I need my good grades. I can barely handle getting a B in a course. Besides, the college i'm going to wouldnt have accepted me if I had a failing grade in a course. Not to mention, Im going to school to be a vet, failing isn't a option.
