Welcome to "The Club"....

When I first attempted to enter the Master's Program at CSU, I did not receive notification that I was NOT accepted due to my GPA (which was 2.67 at the time). I had already signed up for classes and attending my first course when I was pulled out and told by the Chairman. I had just received my BA from them and they would not even let me try.... And they wonder why I never answer any Alumni correspondence.... heh....

Two years later, SDSU took me on probation after I scored high enough on a GRE test to enter UCLA. In August 1979, I earned my Master's Degree.... My only trouble with that at the time was that Prop 13 took out every educational job I had been seeking. Using 20/20 Hindsight, I should have gone professional in my chosen major instead of becoming a programmer/analyst. The pay would have been lower, but I might have enjoyed it more, and worked longer....

Hope you get things ironed out. I know how frustrating bureaucracy can be, and what it does to mental and physical health. Hang in there and remember.... "Illegitimi non carborundum!"
