Low gpa first semester need help
Basically heres the scoop. A lot of shit went down first semester and for extremely complicated reasons i did horribly bad last semester. Im also on probation and failed 2 out of three courses because of the complicated reasoning. My overall gpa as of right now is sitting at 1.67. is it possible to save my ass next semester if i just focus on getting high marks or is it too late?

So, you did poorly last year and were put on academic probation, and then did poorly again this term? How many units did you take this term and what was your average prior to this (and how many units had you taken)?
It should be mathematically possible, however I'm disinclined to believe that the "extremely complicated reasons" are solely to blame for your poor performance this term, since you did poorly last year too. It's not too late because if you do very well next term you should be able to pull up your grades enough (you can work out the math for yourself), but only you can say for sure whether or not it's realistic to expect that to happen.

I don't really know what you're looking for - you should be capable of doing the math yourself and you should already know everything I just said.
