Question on the stupid irony of the college who just denied my entrance into Psycial Therapy.?

It sounds like you were denied entrance to your program because they have a limited number of places and you were either too late or there were others they thought were more qualified.\n\nIf you think you want to be considered based on your athletics ablility, then go for it. Contact the coach and tell him that you would like to run there but only if you can get in the Physical Therapy program.

Honey, I'm sorry... wish I could help.  But your post did catch my eye because I attended an extension of SBU for one semester.  I decided I didn't like it (as I've heard many have?).  Anyway, I wish I could be of more health.  But God be with ya.

froggy,\n\nIf the "policy" of this school is not to communicate through students, then the teacher was definitely in the wrong for sending a reply to you through your daughter, regardless of the offensive statement.\n\nThe statement, mind you was ignorant and offensive...that sort of thinking has no place in schools and absolutely no place in the minds of teachers...who, of all people should not place preferences for "real" or biological parents versus what, "un-real" parents, who made no genetic donations to children they care for and raise as their own?\n\nIf anything, these are the folks who should be held as the ideal, and get positive attention, instead of being shunned as someone who isn't a REAL parent...\n\nPlease...I wanna know, who is this ignorant ******?  Which State made the worst decision ever, and granted this person a teaching certificate?\n\nMs froggy, I would not rest until I get this person in front of the school principal to explain herself.  Go to the county school board if you get no satisfaction there, and to the media if you're still getting ignored.  There is no place for thinking like that.

Generally the folks on the appeals board don't want to hear excuses so much as your plans for improving your grades.  Keep in mind - the University doesn't make any money by kicking you out, so they'd rather keep you there, but rules are rules.  So, you have to go through this appeals process.  For the most part, if you show some sincere effort in putting together the petition, your odds of the committee deciding in your favor are much higher.  I recommend, at a MINIMUM, three letters of support regarding your ability to succeed at college classes - only one of which (if any) should be from a family member.  If you can get the reference to give the letter to you in a sealed envelope (don't open it, of course), so much the better - it helps convince the committee that you didn't forge it.  (Which doesn't make much sense, after all - why couldn't someone just put a forged letter into an envelope?  Anyway, all I know is that it seems to help) Also, put a lot of thought into your personal essay - I'm assuming that the petition requires one.  If it doesn't, write one anyway.  You basically want to explain why you failed this semester as truthfully and briefly as possible.  Then, explain IN DETAIL your plans for improvement, (such as how much time you plan to devote to studying per week, where you're going to study, what changes you plan to make in your lifestyle, etc.).  If you do all that, I'd be shocked if they don't let you back in.  After all, Madison does have a bit of a reputation as a party school.  If they kicked everyone out for violating probation, I don't think they'd have many students left. :)    Oh, and by the way - should your appeal be rejected, look into other schools in the area.  Generally being suspended from one school does not prohibit you from taking classes at another, especially if you enroll as a non-degree seeking student at the other school (the credits will transfer regardless).  If you do well in those classes, you could appeal the suspension again at the end of that semester, with an almost guaranteed success, since you could prove you're capable of decent grades.  Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, either on here or by email:  crazyophelia42@hotmail.com  Good luck!

He's probably not responding because there is no proof other than your word - and I would check your student handbook to see if there is a "proper" procedure for "reporting" such a situation. If there isn't, then I would approach it from that angle. Mention that there aren't guidelines and you feel that they are necessary for future students.

I guess you did undergone carrier counseling before choosing your course, if it is a compulsory course or a borrowed course, my pal please just try and sit the exams yourself, you know why, I guess your tutors know more than you that is why they included anatomy in your course. So I wish you all the best.

jesus christ, is that how you think?  i can't understand a thing you just said.  you may as well forget getting any A's in college unless you're a phys ed. major.  get ready to walk everywhere, pal.

Good luck.  I doubt seriously they will accept your "I wasn't supposed to be in those classes anyway" excuse.

Oh no... there are christian psychologists and counselors out there? I mean not ones that just happen to be christians but ones who define themselves by it? And their therapy is "read the bible"? Oh please tell me this isn't true. For the love of all your holy stuff please no.... They don't have actual degrees do they? I think I'm going to be ill... You are clear on the reason that this "therapy" isn't helping, right? Do I really need to go into it further? Please suggest to your partner that they see an actual therapist with real training. They can be christian, even.

Me too.  Statistics, grrr.  I think I was so traumatized by four semesters of it that I've repressed it all.  What a waste for me!

I think I can help you navigate some of this - - see my answers to your other questions.  I'm from south Florida, have lived in NY, wanted to attend NYU myself at one time (though for psych, not social work), and hold an MSW.  See my other answers and email me if you wish.  Take care.

Well, I went ahead and took a look at some of your answers, and it looks like what you were doing was abuse.   To a ton of answers you wrote the same answer, and most of the time it had nothing to do with the question.\nFor example to the question:\n"what is the point of taking a million and one classes that dint even relate to your degree?"\nYou wrote: "I don't know" and then went on about some boycott.  You answered that same thing in a ton of questions.\nYou are not aloud to do that.  So before you think this was some personal vendetta, maybe you need to realize that there are rules here that need to be followed.

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college.  Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth.  She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly.  One day, she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs.  Based on the lectures that she had participated in and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that for years her father had obviously harbored an evil, even selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.  The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth, and she indicated so to her father.  He stopped her and asked her point blank how she was doing in school.  She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain.  That she studied all the time, never had time to go out and party like other people she knew.  She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend and didn’t really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.  That she was taking a more difficult curriculum.\n\nHer father listened and then asked, “How is your good friend Mary doing?”\n\nShe replied, “Mary is barely getting by.”  She continued, “She barely has a 2.0 GPA,” adding “and all she takes are easy classes, and she never studies.  But Mary is so very popular on campus.  College for her is a blast.  She goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”\n\nHer father then asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0?”  He continued, “That way, you will both have a 3.0 GPA, and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”\n\nThe daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair!  I worked really hard for mine.  I did without and Mary has done little or nothing.  She played while I worked real hard!”\n\nThe father slowly smiled, winked and said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”

I just got a 0 in a class that someone said that I had cheated in. In all reality I gave answers to someone else. They were worth 20 points on the test. This has caused me to get academic dishonesty on my transcript and also a big fat 0. I didn't even think anything of it when I did it considering it was for an internet class and was a take home test. I have a over a 3.5 GPA and have 2 (well now 3) classes until I graduate. I think my punishment is a little harsh considering we talked to the teacher and the dean and said exactly what happened. Now I am out $600 more dollars and have this label etched in stone on my transcript. I will never share my knowledge again. It just isn't worth it. I guess the reason I am saying this is to warn you that this is a major offense in the academic world and could cost you majorly. I wish you the best and let me know how you handle the situation.

That guy was an asshole don't pay attention he can't spell\ncommon sense....Your best bet would be to to contact your old university and speak with someone at the office of the registrar...They should still have your transcript and they would be able to tell you which of your previous credits will carry over....\nGood Luck!
