Will TESC reject me?

[Txcell]

I graduated High School when I was sixteen and immediately started taking some classes at a local community college. I was in a pretty bad place in life, and overwhelmed with everything. As a result, I received an F, a couple As, two or three Bs, and a C or two. I know thats terrible. banghead Its been several years since then(six to be exact). Since then, I have taken several CLEP and DSST exams, and I'm currently enrolled in a StraighterLine course. I know none of these things help my GPA problem. I'm just concerned that TESC won't accept me due to my past performance. Should I try to enroll in some other classes to help my GPA? What are TESC's GPA requirements for admission?

I can't remember all of the classes I have taken, and their exact grades.
Of course, I will be ordering the transcripts and having them sent to TESC.


Thank you.

Thank you.

Highly doubtful. I wouldn't worry about it. I'd be shocked if they denyed you, many of the other posts I've seen had much worse GPAs. Don't beat yourself up, TESC is a place for those of us who have a less than perfect academic history.

Thank you.

You'll be fine. Just make sure you have a 2.0 GPA when you graduate and you're good. Besides, it's only one F. If getting Fs your freshman year was a deal breaker, there would be many more homeless people then there are today.

Yeah, an F isn't a deal-breaker for TESC. They took me, and I had somewhere between one and three (AMU used to do some funny stuff with their intro to chemistry...had an overarching course, and then the basic course and lab were broken up inside it with their own grades. Played havoc with TA while I was in.)
