I got an email saying I am suspended from financial aid due to credits or progress? I’m devastated. I’m gathering proof for an appeal. I‘m a sophomore but I’ll be a junior next year and I was trying to receive aid for summer classes to catch up and lock in. Now my aid has been taken away.

Right before my first year of college, my grandad passed away. This caused me to develop severe health ocd. I was in and out of the hospital and it got worse and worse. This year was the worst for my ocd along with actual health issues. I had to get a colonoscopy, I caught Covid, my roommate put cat feces in my clothes, and my emotional support dog of almost a decade passed away completely unexpectedly. I finally am consistently in therapy and I am trying to work through my ocd and trauma. It’s hard but I’m getting there. I tried to start summer classes to finally finish my last years strong but woke up to this.

What do I do if my appeal is denied. I don’t think I can pay out of pocket. If I ace summer classes will I be able to get it back (if appeal is denied)? Would I be able to take out a loan? I don’t want to take a break because I genuinely feel like I’m in a better place and that I’m ready to tackle these last few years. Will I be forced to drop summer classes? I feel like I just started to get things back together. Now it’s all blown apart. I’m so so sorry if I sound like a mess. I just feel so… Lost? Scared? What are my chances of appeal? I don’t know if they allow second appeals but it is a possibility. I was mostly A’s and B’s freshman year!

I see so many opinions and I’m kind of overwhelmed and don’t know what to believe. People either tell me I’m completely screwed and tell me to give up or I still have a chance. I just finished my sophomore year and it went terrible. I had an unexpected loss in the family and I developed severe OCD because of it. I’m in treatment and I’m mostly back to my academic self but I definitely suffered the consequence. My gpa is a depressing 2.3. Do I have time to raise it?

I plan to also supplement and be more competitive by getting a masters and also I will study my ass off for the GRE and focus my applications on holistic vet schools along with others. I will also be focusing on getting mostly A’s and as little B’s as possible for the rest of my undergraduate years.

If this isn’t enough and you still think I’m screwed. Would it be helpful to work as a zoologist or vet tech for a few years to help my case? I am even willing to get ANOTHER bachelors degree if you guys think it’s necessary to prove myself. (expensive ik 😭)am a biology major and I could also do a animal science degree to help even more.

I plan to do most of my research hours and internships during my junior/senior year. Getting into internships can be hard. I’m trying y’all I’m trying to unfuck the situation (pardon my language).

Any guidance would be SPECTACULAR! I LOVE Y’ALL! 💚💚💚

I am a pre vet student hoping to become a veterinarian (hopefully exotic/wildlife/etc) and I thought this would be the best place to seek advice and support. I apologize deeply if this isn't the place to post.

I just took my 3rd Calculus 1 final and yep. I am totally cooked. I have officially failed Calculus 1 again. I am a biology major and there is a thing where you can get a grade wiped. I think I have one more of those. I'm exhausted and terrified that I won't be able to become a vet. My GPA will surely tank and I am mortified. I let my mental health affect my work and my dog and grandfather passing away made everything worse. I am so ashamed of myself. I feel doomed. My future as a vet feels completely out of reach. I plan to hopefully take Calculus 1 over the summer or through community college but I genuinely feel terrible. I did this. I don't know what to do. This year has been awful and it is not a reflection of me as a student. I was on honor roll last year. This year I failed 5 classes. I'm in a better place and I am confident I can do it but I fear that I have dug myself too deep of a hole. My parents don't know that I failed calculus for a 3rd time and I don't know what to tell them. They help pay for my college and I don't know what to tell them. How do I go forward? Is there even a point? I don't even have any research hours or anything. I'm so cooked.
