Hii Everyone

I’m planning to apply to a BSW program this year, but I recently realized that I seriously hurt my GPA.

I struggled a lot this semester due to family and personal challenges. Instead of withdrawing from my course. I thought I could manage everything and push through. Unfortunately, I ended up failing despite working hard and doing my best to pass.

By the end of this year, my GPA may be around 3.0, which is close to the minimum requirement for admission to some BSW programs.

I’m a newcomer living with my dad, and because of my family situation, I can only apply to universities close to me such as UBC and UFV. Financially, it would be very difficult for me to stay in school for an extra year to boost my current GPA. My family has worked incredibly hard to support my education, and I already feel like I’ve let them down. As an unemployed adult still living with family, I feel that the least I could have done was maintain a strong GPA.

I was wondering if anyone has been accepted into a BSW program with a GPA similar to mine, or if anyone has gone through a similar situation. I currently have about 200 volunteer hours and plan to continue volunteering to strengthen my application.

I’m honestly feeling very anxious about all of this, and I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thank you.
