I have proof of my mother having no income but will it be enough to be reinstated without waiting a year ?
No one here can ever give you an answer which is guaranteed 100%. The best anyone here can do for you with respect to reinstatement is to let you know to state all the points you think are the cause of your low GPA in your letter for reinstatement. If it's good enough for them, then you'll be reinstated. If not, hopefully they offer you viable and feasible options.

If you have a 3 you can switch into b.tech...but if you get below 3, I think you can reinstate into b.tech...It's best if you talk to sally williams.

Anyone know how lenient they are when it come to being below 3.0?
Say, if someone gets a 2.95-2.99 would they be willing to give them a pass?

Hey nan100, I went through the exact same thing as you in terms of academics this year. Iam in Eng I too.
Here are a couple of things you could do:
You mentioned you had the flu while writing Materials right? Try getting a doctor's note for that so that they can consider you for summer school. Also get your family's income statement. Talk to Sally Williams as to where you could use these two things.
Dont worry man..your reason is genuine. Let me know whats the development on your case.. I will try to find something else that could act in your favour.

You said you're in second year--so how were your first year marks? If they were decent, and this represents a significant drop, and you can get documentation proving anxiety/depression (these are real medical problems btw, not something that everyone experiences as someone said above), you should be okay to apply for reinstatement.

For the vast majority of reinstatement applications, you need to take a year off first--reapplying now for september is very sketch. If you have health problems, take the time to recover. Maybe take one or two online courses and do well in them. Taking a year off isn't necessarily a bad thing--it would be worse if you came back in september and were still sick and had the exact same problem as this year.
Thanks for the reply.

I can't afford to take a year off. I was thinking of just getting the medication needed to overcome my problems. I don't really mind the side effects for now.

Also, I come from an immigrant family. For them, schools is like everything. If I take a year off or if they somehow learn of my situation, they will kick me out ,or worse, start insulting me day after day of not being "worthy" enough. Also, they are too culturally blind so reasoning with them is not possible.

My first year GPA was 4. something. My psychological problems started since beginning of high school, they did have an impact on first year but were much more stronger in second year.

Thanks again for helping.
