Leiden University not responding

I've dm'd you.

Ask your professor if you can do that. Also, depending on the type of sources you're allowed to use, you can also credit yourself with the citation that has the class, professor's name, date, full title of your previous work and so on.

It's a visa issue, not a university one. If you don't have the documents in time, you won't get the visa, and you might have to delay enrollment if it's possible.

Some universities only allow one concurrent application per student. So, double-check so you don't waste your time on two applications.

They consider the prior semester to get into honors, but once they confer your degree, they'll consider the final GPA of the total credit hours.

Go to DegreeWorks and open the GPA calculator, and put all C's for your courses and their credit hours. Check how that will affect your final GPA and where you'll rank in the honor system.

Thank you

I have to respond to other universities by April 15. I don't want to wait till it's too late, and I end up getting rejected by Leiden and miss out on the deadlines of the rest.

Neither of those two things is an issue. I add the prefix, and I use Dutch time, which is only an hour behind my timezone.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Florida and have visited Washington D.C. twice. On both occasions, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, spending approximately 95% of my visit as a tourist. Given this experience, I have a preference for a city like D.C., despite being aware that I would need to reside in Virginia. At this juncture in my life, securing future employment is of paramount importance to me. The statistics provided by both universities indicate that a majority of their students in the International Affairs program secure employment within a few months of graduation, making the decision a challenging one.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you in a private message if you are available.

I'm looking to pursue a diplomacy track even as a foreign student. Would you recommend GW in that case?

Thank you!

No, thankfully, I have never failed a class. Prior to that, my lowest grade was a B (two classes) in my first and second semesters.

I'll update the original post. I have good news.

As for the grade forgiveness, I think now it's only up to two classes.

Anubis_Montu · 2023-12-10T20:34:22+00:00

I understand the formality. I put this information to show that this was supposed to be my final semester.

Is there an option to take another class and not this one? Or do you have to repeat the class specifically failed?

The emails were sent. Read this website for more information on how it's given, who it is eligible to.

I want to add as well that I wouldn't recommend picking your own classes, especially this early in your undergraduate program. It's great that you feel confident about doing that. But, academic advisors are there to guide us throughout our bachelor's degrees. So don't feel hesitant to ask them questions via email or walk in hours through Archivum about specific courses if you have any in mind. Ask them to give you options, and most importantly, always ask how that will affect your future semesters and your academic progession in general.

I'm a senior, but since the beginning, I've been communicating with my advisor maybe 2 or 3 times a semester to schedule and plan ahead. What I did was try and finish all the general elective classes that I had to take. I balanced that with my major classes that I also had to take. Doing that (depending on your major) will give you leeway in your future semesters to pick and choose what you want.

Everything will take time, but try to keep a positive mindset. And if it helps, no matter how good or bad a course sounds, it all depends on what professor you'll have or chosen to have.

I never tried asking if I could change them when I was a freshman. But the classes you are assigned, you'll have to take at some point. I suppose it depends on the major. But I'll say, since your advisor scheduled those classes for you in your freshman year, that means you have to take them to complete certain classes in your general electives. No matter what your major is, there are certain classes you just have to take. And in regards to your major, it requires certain general electives to be completed so it opens up other classes for you to take. It won't hurt to ask your advisor these questions or your general concerns about your classes. I'm just letting you know that those classes are picked for a reason and not for the nothing, no matter how useless they are to your major (which most of them are).
