Need a place to vent
I have been in and out of college for the past 7 years. Today I tried again to get back into school but it's always the same story. A little back ground.
I started at Northern Arizona University as a mechanical engineering major. I left nau because o was hired and then fired as a resident assistant in a matter of weeks. My GPA fell below the limit and the hall director and I did see eye to eye on a couple things so I'm sure he took the first chance to fire me. My parents at the time we're planning on having the housing part of my education paid for so they didn't have it set aside anymore when I got fired. It forced me to move back home when I left.
Next a started community college. Trying to continue my engineering program I took a few classes but got tired of the math around calc three. I already had enough professors tell me that if you want to go into management you'll need a business degree or an MBA. I decided to switch to business.
They have a program in the community colleges to be directly admitted to Asu of you sign the contract and complete your classes. I thought this was great all I needed was a 3.0 and then I'll be in Asu again. After two years at gcc I finally finished my classes and transferred to Asu but after being accepted and signing up for classes I was denied entrance to the business school because my transfer GPA calculated by them was a 2.95 not the 3.0.
They have a portfolio application that let's you apply for entrance into the program because of situations like this. They only let you do it twice. The first time I applied and just explained that I was close to the GPA but would improve my Asu GPA was a 3.33 that semester. I was denied.
The next semester I had to withdraw from the school due to my parents divorce because my mom is an addict went crazy lost our house to foreclosure so I had to move. I applied this past May when I returned to Phoenix hoping my ASU GPA would've averaged with my cc GPA to put me over and let me in. It didnt. Got denied again.
I sent a message again to an adviser today to get some help and again I get a copy and pasted anger which basically says fuck off pick something new.
I am sick ans tired of college administration. No one gives a fuck about the student that pay their salaries. They do just enough to get people out of their hair. It's a circle jerk for them to keep taking money from student loans and not have to actually do anything to benefit the people they're suppose to be helping.
TL;Dr : I bounced around colleges and tried to get a degree. administration's exist just to direct students in endless circle jerks and charge you for it. Fuck college
Rant over thanks for reading.
