Hi guys,
This semester I was a total failure for a lot of reasons. To make a long story short I'm getting: an F in a computer science class, a C in Chinese, and a D and C in my math classes (2nd semester Abstract Algebra and 2nd semester Real Analysis, respectively.) Luckily I'm getting one A: in another CS class. (who cares.)
I've taken topology, the calculus sequence, ODEs, complex analysis, 2 linear algebra courses, and the first-semester parts of the classes I just told you about, getting As in all of them. These are my first non-As in math classes. I'm also taking the graduate versions of those two classes next year.
Will my awful record this semester keep me out of math Ph.D programs, which is what I want to do? I'm not aiming for Harvard and company but I'd at least like to get in somewhere worthwhile someday. Can I possibly come back from this?
I'm in my second year by the way.
