Failed. Entirely unsure what to do with myself. (Vent)
Just got my final exam scores back. It a total wipeout. Junior year aerospace engineering major. Had a 3.49 GPA going into the semester and have crashed hard into a wall. Unless there is a MASSIVE (+5 points, possibly near 10) curve/cuttoff adjustment in either class then I will have failed both AE323 and AE312. From what I know about the averages on the other exams that won't be happening. I've done the usual recommendations of reaching out to advisor (I've been speaking to them since mid semester when my struggles first started appearing) and now have reached out to the professors but know nothing is likely to come of that. I don't know final scores but I find myself unable to hold any hope it will be a miracle D-. Along side these failures I got a D+ in a technical elective and likely two B+ in the other core technical cores. So I will likely get a academic warning over this.
My biggest fear is if this means I can't graduate on time. the classes that I am supposed to follow these courses with are only taught in the fall. So I am at the mercy of getting override but I know that is never guaranteed. I have no idea how to come home to my family with the news. I plan on waiting till I have the final grade before telling them.
I know failure isn't uncommon in engineering but I just don't know how to get over the feeling of being worthless over this. I don't have a good answer on what went wrong. I feel like it was a perfect storm of depression, illness, and academic struggles that I wasn't able to get ahold of all the way through. Anyone have any immediate advice on how to make sure I can still be graduating this time next year.
