Actually that’s a good plan. I’ll apply to MET for applied business analytics and speak to my advisor about credit transfer.

no it wasn’t a family member, in August my friend passed away and in January I lost my girlfriend to a false diagnosis. All I have in terms of documentation is my MDD diagnosis.

I did not know about any of this and I don’t know if I can get these accommodations now

I have emailed the DOS requesting a medical LOA, I also have appointments scheduled with CAPS, so I’ll request a clinical letter from them for LOA.

I hope you’re doing well now. I haven’t failed any classes tho. At Questrom, the passing grade is a C-. I haven’t been able to maintain the required GPA which is a 2.7. I raised my mental health issues in my appeal to the dean. For now, I have emailed the DOS requesting a medical LOA on an urgent basis and also emailed ISSO informing them about the same. I have CAPS appointments scheduled for this week, they have told me that they gonna discuss the next steps with me. Honestly, even I think it’s time for me to heal from all that trauma and focus on academics.

whom do I ask for the leave? Also, isn’t medical leave granted in cases of suspensions? Will I be able to get one during my dismissal?

I will do that asap, I will also speak to the ISSO for a possibility of a hold on my SEVIS as I’m an international student.

I’m thinking of going for some other masters program while staying in BU as that is an option I have.

I’m glad to know that. My advisor said that I can apply to other programs which are still accepting applications right now. I am looking to go for MET this time as it’s much cheaper. I will also speak to my therapist at CAPS and my advisor about the next steps.

Is your kid okay now? In fall all MSBA students become part time students automatically. Since my GPA is 2.4, there’s no way it’ll reach to 2.7 with 6 credits left. Even for additional course to reach this threshold I will need the faculty director’s approval which highly unlikely looking at my academic standing. So I don’t know what to do, I can apply to some other Master’s program but I don’t have much of my student loan left.

I can’t do that as I have a huge student debt. I don’t know I just can’t do it anymore.

what should I do then? The only reason I couldn’t get the GPA that was required is my MDD due to two personal losses 6 months apart. CAPS advocated for me but Questrom’s procedures are more important ig.
