please pleaseeeeee!!!!!!!! just read and give me feeedback! its a dismissal letter from my university!?

Question

I received the letter regarding my academic standing at the University. I do not blame anyone but myself for letting my family down. I deeply regret not putting as much effort that I was supposed to put during the entire school year.

As a transfer student, I first entered the University very clueless and nervous. The classes that I chose during fall semester weren’t needed. I was given more than I was able to handle and instead of communicating with advisors that the University offered me, I decided to take it upon myself and fulfill these classes. My first semester was very difficult since I was still not adapted to being in a big University. I did not take full advantage of the help that the school offered. I assumed that since I always kept to myself in high school, I could be able to handle this. During the first few weeks of classes, I could not locate the offices of my professors to communicate since I had no idea of a help desk. I did not discipline myself to be social enough and ask questions. My lack of interest for my major also played a part in my education. The Spring semester was a bit better since I took advantage of the University’s resources. I was able to find each class and ask the professor directly for their office hours and if they offered tutoring. I spoke to my advisor and we both decided on what classes to take and the amount of classes in order to prevent me being overwhelmed. My major interest during the fall session changed from Nursing to Physical Therapy. I thought I wanted to be a Nurse since my mother always insisted on it. I decided on Physical Therapy during the spring and I was motivated to achieve good grades in order to make my dream come through. I am more interested in my new major and I regret the lack of knowledge I refused to acquire about the University’s resources during the fall session. I am the only person responsible for this inconvenience. I should have been more focused and less shy of my new environment.

If accepted back into the University, I plan on taking full advantage of the resources that the University offers. I have learned how to keep myself busy with a part time job and I plan on being a better student and employee. I plan on working very closely with my academic advisors and spending more time at the tutoring center. The Spring semester proved to me that applying hard work pays off and I blame myself for not having the mind set during the Fall semester. My goal if accepted back is taking the amount of credits I am comfortable with, find tutors for all my classes even if I’m not struggling in so I could be sure of myself. I will also construct a table for studying, homework and preparing for quizzes and test. I realize that College is the next step in life for me and I am dedicated to it. Thinking back on the fall semester, I understand that time waits for no man. I plan on retaking the courses that I failed since I have access to tutors in school to help me.

Acquiring an education at the University is a dream come true and I hope that you will accept my appeal. I refuse to let this opportunity to slip away and I promise not to disappoint any of my professors and advisors anymore. I wish to be granted another opportunity to prove myself to everyone that I can make it with hard work and dedication. I am motivated to success at the University because I know that I can not afford to be in this position again. I have not only put my future on the line but my family’s since I am the first to go to college.

Yours Sincerely

Answer 1

Irene, I do think that your letter is very sincere, but perhaps too long. The number of words may go against you as everyone is busy, and sometimes less is more. A few points: you might not want to mention that you are planning on working a job, unless the school recommends it. It might sound like you will not have as much time to do coursework. Also, no one likes excuses, consider removing all the details about not being able to find the professor's offices and I strongly recommend removing the parts about "not being social enough". One of the requirements for becoming a PT is having great social skills. Find another way to express yourself, focus on communicating the passion you have now for completing the PT program, and try to keep it direct and to the point. I'll post a link below to a site with good information about what the school is looking for in a PT student. Good Luck!

Answer 2

If they dismissed you due to academics then the only way you will ever be let back in is if you go to community college for a few years and prove that you can get good grades. They aren't going to let you back in because of a letter.

Answer 3

thats too long lol
