UVU Here I come
My application is in, I've been accepted, and I'm progressing towards starting my first semester at UVU. I've been a little crazy and obsessed with the process. Yesterday I went and took my placement test. My math skills have definitely deteriorated since High School. I was surprised to not have to start at the very basic of math classes, but two levels up, still I am one level down from the actual math class that counts towards a degree. My English skills surprised me. I need to start one level down from beginning English. Really? This may be a mute point because my credits from Snow College oh so many years ago can count, and I took my first two English courses then. I'm finding out that maybe transferring my credits wasn't the best idea because my grades weren't the best, I think. The website has me so confused as to what everything actually is. I think is says my grade point average is .370. I don't see how this can be right. That would put me on academic suspension from Snow, and I never even was on probation. Who knows what all of this means. Later today I will have a phone conference with my academic advisor to figure everything out. Thing is I was just there yesterday and she told me I needed to have my transcripts sent. Why didn't she notice they already had been? We could of figured all of this out in person yesterday. So I am obsessing over what all of this will mean in the long run. Getting into the nursing program at UVU is very competitive, I need the best possible(4.0 if I can achieve that) GPA to get into the program. Wow, in hind sight I wish I would of buckled down and did all of this straight out of high school. I was such a good student in high school. Some how life took some pretty drastic turns and threw me into a tailspin of self destruction. I know I am better prepared to take it on now. So there's my rant for the day.

Good luck with school. If you're concerned about grades, ask if you can retake a class at UVU to get a higher grade. It will take longer to finish, but may be helpful in the long run.
HOORAY! So glad you're in. First major step accomplished. Glad you're higher in math than you thought ... and with your new-found focus, I'm sure you'll do great. Good luck!
Congrats! I wish I had the courage to go back to school and finish with something other than GE. We keep talking about it but so many things keep getting in the way. Best of luck to you. I know you will do great!
