Getting a Low GPA This Semester
Used this to get membership

The purpose of this letter is to show cause why my enrolment should not be cancelled. Due to my abysmal performance on one of my courses, I received a rather disappointingly low GPA this semester. Another issue I did not consider was the fact that I received a warning on my last semester (which dates back to 2009), it completely slipped my mind and I made the grave error of assuming that the slate will be wiped clean this semester. Nevertheless I am not making any excuses and I accept responsibility on my performance. I am normally a very diligent and hardworking student but due to a number of difficulties last semester I did not do well enough on PSYC1040. But rest assured that I have taken the necessary steps in overcoming those difficulties and I am very confident that I will do better and not fail again next semester and the ones after it.
Several factors can be accounted for that contributed to my poor academic performance last semester. I feel that the accumulation of these problems made me lose focus and in turn resulted in my failure on one of the courses. We recently moved houses in the middle of the semester and I am sure you can sympathise on the taxing effort it takes both physically and mentally in doing so. It was a very busy week and to cap that off I had to adjust to the new surroundings as well as the routes of public transport. As someone living in the Gold Coast this affected my travel routines to the train station heavily. I have included a copy of the letter that the Australian Electoral Commission recently sent me to confirm my change of address on the electoral poll. Another factor was the heavy workload I was doing at work last semester. I also need to leave for work earlier due to my new house being a bit further away now. Little factors such as feeling daunted due to a lengthy absence in uni and the task of readjusting again may also have contributed to my poor performance. Perhaps the biggest variable that

    In your commentary, "Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail" you show the importance of failure and imperfection. You explained how a student looked forward to the possibility of failure. You feel it is important to inform not only students but parents of those students and other teachers that failure is a necessary part to personal growth and development. You say how finding imperfection in college applications is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. You also explain to us that you get the most excited when you read applications that seem real. You wants students and parents of students to know that everyone fails and we shouldn't be afraid of imperfection as it is a key piece to growing up and experiencing the real world.…

    The reason why my GPA is low was because of my life conditions. At the time of my school education about half way in it, I was having issues in my marriage that later it lead to a divorce that dreaded on awhile and because of that, I also had a hard time to keep up with my bills, which caused me to be severe depressed, sad, and anxious. Which also caused a decrease in attention/focus on my education in school. I really had a hard time to get back into my books and to stay focus in school. If it wasn't for the support from Brown Mackie College Professors to understand my situation, and to help me stay focus I would have never been able to complete my education at Brown Mackie.…

    When I first received the letter inviting me to apply to the National Honor Society, my initial thoughts were of appreciation for the recognition of my hard work during this past academic year. To think of myself as a member of the NHS is an honor that could have a profound impact on my future. Over the past several years I have driven myself to become a much more motivated person. Along with achieving a GPA of 3.67, which is a personal best, I have also motivated myself to lose 35 pounds, which has helped me to have the self-confidence to take a more active leadership role in encouraging others to live a healthier lifestyle. To be considered a member of this prestigious organization is both an honor and a challenge to continue to improve both my body and my mind as I embark upon the journey of a higher education.…

    Dear Esteemed Members of the Admissions Committee:I am submitting a letter of petition for readmission for the Fall 2011 term. I was dismissed from the university in 2005 for poor academic performance. Upon my entrance into the university I have always been very studious which has led me to excel academically throughout the years. When I began my studies at --- I was ignorant of so many things. I didnt really pick up on college regulations and penalties comfortably until my sophomore year. It was then when I learned that I unfortunately didnt drop a class I thought I had dropped. I learned my lesson and became very familiar with the college catalog at that point. During my enrollment at ----, I truly tried my best but it was not good enough. I was devastated to see how I was performing when I knew I was capable of doing better. I graduated 3rd in my class with a 4.2 on a 4 scale. I had never performed so poorly, EVER! As depressing as this was for me I never gave up. I kept striving for better results but in the end I had to face reality. When I was dismissed from the university I blamed myself for my failures. I was too proud to admit that there were underlying causes that led to such a poor performance on my behalf. When there are problems in my life I usually find ways to deal with them without making them known. Ive re-evaluated the situation and have come to the conclusion that I was in denial of the issues my medical condition was causing me. I am a type 1 diabetic which was not under its best control during my enrollment. I never wanted to admit that it was causing me problems but I realize that it needs to be known and I should not be ashamed of it. My health caused me to be in an uncontrollable state of drowsiness constantly. On some occasions it required hospitalization. There were times I woke up on my floor confused and out of touch with reality. The hospital became my second home. It seemed as if I wasnt at school or the dormitory I was in the…
