It is all about attitude.
True story
I graduated high school with A 1.83 GPA (below sea level)
I made a 29 on the ACT.
I then failed out of UT.
Off for 6 years then begged my way back in
I was allowed 1 corespondents class .accounting 202. Made a C.
Still thinking I’m just not book smart I was allowed to take 12 hours. I gave it everything I had. 4 As.
I now have the distinction of being the only student at that point to make the Deans list with a cumulative GPA less than 2.O
Finished that degree and the next with a GPA just above 3.8 (leaving off the failure grades. 2.9 for the first degree leaving them in.
all that is true. The only change between the 2 attempts at school was my attitude.
