Can this ruin my chances?
Full or part time? any advice?
Hello, so I have a weird situation here so please bear with me. I have some personal matters that take up a significant amount of my time during the week, which led me to only take 2 classes last semester. This semester I can take 3 because even though my time is still very limited, I will be studying harder than ever. I will be majoring in finance. I'm doing everything I can to keep a strong gpa for employment, but I'm worried that potential employers may think poorly of my transcript if I'm a part-time student for the entire year ( Im a first year). So, should I continue to take 3 classes and keep a strong GPA or is it more beneficial for my employment to take 4 classes full time this time even though my GPA will probably be hurt? Also, last semester those issues happened after the add/drop, so I have 3 Ws on my transcript... Is this also something that employers would take a negative view of? Thank you very much for taking the time to read and I would appriciate any advice!
They prolly don't take a negative view to thinks that are out of your control. I had to take 6 classes at time with a bunch of external things going on as well and obviously the gpa took a hit. I would say go for 4
If the GPA is high, resume is good, you should be alright.
Then use the essays, you have the chance to tell your story - highlight that you're a hard worker, resilient, want to do this, time management, etc.
You should be alright.
