I am in a predicament: **** has dismissed me for academic reasons during my first year / first semester. I failed one lecture and one lab (only passed the other courses), appealed to the academic committee and failed the appeal. After crying and gnashing my teeth for a few days (I take responsibility for this debacle), I am left with a few options:
-Reapply to ****. The dean said that is an option I can do for this coming year, though I'll be mixed in with the new applicants. That makes me worried about my chances of getting accepted when compared to fresher, better records.
-Apply to a different school. I'm actually alone in Texas and actually hail from California. **** is possibly a school I could reapply to since it is newer than ****, but two problems with that: they accepted me before and I rejected them...and I have this suspension over my head.
-Cut my losses and do something else. I have a public relations major that I could possibly use, but I'm aware that it won't make as much as and won't be as secure as a degree in optometry. This is kind of my bitter pill option overall.
...so I'm stuck. I'm aware that I'm screwed up and I'm disappointed that I wasn't just held back like some other students. Maybe they are telling me that I can't cut it?
Some advice would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
