U of Utah!

Last Wednesday I checked my admission status and saw "Admitted". What a pleasant surprise! I am pretty excited that they (the Admissions Committee) are giving me a chance to come to the U, even though my transcripts look pretty awful. The funniest thing is the letter I opened from them when I got home from work on Thursday telling me that my scholastic history is below the U's normal admission standards and that I will be on academic probation and required to meet with an academic adviser for the first little while. Oh, and I have to keep my GPA above 2.0. I am going to be majoring in Chinese. It will probably take me about 7 years to finish everything if I go to school Spring, Summer and Fall semesters, but it will be a good lesson for me to learn (stay in school).

Update on my educational pursuits

Hi everyone. Yesterday afternoon I submitted my application for consideration to be admitted to the University of Utah. After speaking with the Admissions office (a couple of times), the transfer center, the academic advising office and the language advisement office, I feel that I have a decent chance of being considered for acceptance. My High School transcripts and the 3 classes I took at Cuesta back in '95 and '97 aren't going to help at all, but I am hoping that my SAT score, my recent grade from a math class I took online from SLCC and the letter I sent to the Admission Committee will at least give me a chance. We'll see. :) If I do not get accepted, I am still enrolled to start classes at SLCC in the Fall.
