I sent an email to the admissions dept for the school with the radiography program I'm interested in (despite it maybe not being feasible for me as the most competitive program in the state outside of MD programs) and they replied sooner than I expected to set up a call talking abt transcripts and I am so crazy nervous

#oughh bro i have to send over my lackluster transcripts with a whole lot of Ws and Cs and an F #and go like okay so i know it LOOKS bad but... hear me out.....#i know the worst that could happen is the guy tells me theres just no way im getting in without an associates first #which sucks because i already have a bachelors i dont wanna have to redo gen eds ffs #they only admit like 20 people into this program a year so i feel like i cant mess up talking to the transfer admissions guy #he might actually remember 😵‍💫 even if my embarrassing transcripts wont be memorable enough #like i did end with a 3.5 gpa but also i was in school for like 8 years and i did exceptionally bad #for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: family deaths. (toxic family stuff). poverty. coming out. twice.#my grades shot up once i was eligible financial aid finally and not paying out of pocket while working 1-2 jobs #it still looks terrible #idk how to have the confidence of the average cis white man who walks in with a 2.1 gpa to an interview for med school #personal stuff #im so nervous #like #if this maybe works out and things maybe go to plan i might have like. an actual career? that i enjoy? that feels fulfilling?#a career that can actually go places? so many modalities to choose from. i can help people. and i can go home at the end of my day #and make art and not think about whether what im making is furthering my career or not #also xrays and radiology are just. soooo cool. i love bones. and organs. i looove getting imaging done at my appts because then i get #to ask them questions about what theyre doing n how it works.#i wish id felt more confident when i was younger that maybe i could succeed in sciences
