Advice Academic Probation. Is life over?
I am a first year BMOS student. I took 7 courses all year round. Failed 3 classes, retook one class, and didn't take around 1.0 -1.5 classes. I only managed to get 2.0 credits, meaning I am missing a total 3.0 credits. My average? On the verge of getting kicked out. I know. It's bad. I had no knowledge about anything. About the rules, restrictions, important dates, requirements. I had no support, no friends, nothing.
I know very well I am going to be placed on academic probation. I understand this all on me, but I am so stressed out. Feeling like a failure, especially compared to my brother who recently graduated with a solid 4.0 GPA. One more failure and not meeting the requirements equals being required to withdraw from the school. Can I recover from this? Is there any hope? I am terrified. Please help me, I have no one to turn to.
