Do I Stand Any Chance at Getting Into Graduate School With My Undergrad Record?
Question by Arrayah: Do I stand any chance at getting into graduate school with my undergrad record?
I am a current senior (well 5th year student to be exact) and I have a not so pretty looking transcript. I tried to attend college fresh out of high school in 1999 but I met a guy that I thought was “all that” but later that guy got me into the drug scene and I was really quite hooked. I ended up having to withdraw from all of my courses so that I could go into an intensive year long treatment program. After I was clean for 3 years I finally went back to college and I made good marks- a 3.5 average all the way up until 2nd semester of last year. I became very ill with a rare neurological disorder which I was being treated for and was doing fine in my classes, but then my insurance cut me off and I couldn’t be seen by any doctor anymore. It was too late into the semester to drop the courses so I stuck it out but I wasn’t doing very hot. I ended up getting a D+ for the final grade in intermediate inferential statistics- an important course in my Psychology program, especially since I want to go into a Masters Program in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I finally got approved for a better student insurance program and they are covering my costs. I am doing better both physically and mentally and I just took some summer classes (2 courses) and got A’s in both. I am retaking the stat course and expect to get at least a B this time. Can I explain this well enough and still get into grad school, or am I completely ruined?

Programs exist that accept you with any degree or GPA eg Harvard extension school:

Of course most of the schools that will accept you with any GPA are not as prestigious as Harvard, but you will be able ot get into a school for sure.
Thanks

Drug and Alcohol Rehab Success Rates – Miramar drug and alcohol treatment center (888) 363-8721. www.miramarlagunabeach.com The question of drug and alcohol rehab success rates is frequently asked, but difficult to answer due to a couple of primary considerations. The first is a result of deficiencies in reporting on the part of drug and alcohol rehab programs, which are unwilling to provide confidential information on their past clients. And, even if the drug and alcohol rehab programs provide such information, there is no way to verify the past patients’ accuracy in their self-reporting. The second consideration regards the lack of a standardized definition of success, relative to drug and alcohol rehab treatment. Most rehab programs have their own definition of treatment success, if they have any definition at all, which often doesn’t correlate with the definitions of other programs. There is a growing acceptance of a standardized definition of success, which is the total number of days sober out of a 365-day period, post treatment. If drug and alcohol rehab success rates are a deciding factor in the decision of where to receive addiction treatment, one must ask very specific, detailed questions to understand how any particular treatment program defines and measures success.
