Could i still get into grad school if I got an F in a one credit class?

Question

I signed up a few semesters ago for an internship for psychology. its required for the psych major. i did not, however, complete this internship and took an incomplete grade. Now it has turned to an F but is not yet included in my GPA. but the thing is i dont relaly wnat to do this internship, i am not really at all interested in psychology, i just want to graduate and be done with my school.

so I'm considering taking the F for the internship and just graduating with a Spanish major. but I'm worried about what this will mean. if i try to apply to grad school later on for Spanish or maybe something else like philosophy or religious studies, will they look down on me because they see i took an F in a one credit internship? also will a gpa of 3.72 look much different from 3.76 which is what it would remain if i did the internship?

Answer 1

Not without God

Answer 2

I had eight F's on my undergrad college transcript, and I'm currently a grad student working on a Masters in Biology at Mississippi State Univ.

You won't have any problems unless your trying to go to Harvard or some other Ivy league school.

Answer 3

You should call a school (if you already have one in mind) and ask them about it.  That's exactly what I did when I was thinking of furthering my education.  I had earned a bachelor's degree in the California UC system, and I wanted to know if I could continue studying at the California CSU system without taking more undergraduate classes.

I don't recall which department I called (probably Admissions).   I might have been transferred to the right person to ask.

Answer 4

yes it should be too big of a deal
