How To Overcome Depression And Attain Higher Grades?
Hi I am a student study at Baruch College, I have been feeling depressed since I started in Baruch because I have been getting bad grades. One of the important reasons that leads to the depression is Baruch has a requirement for those who want to enroll in zicklin school of business must meet a GPA requirement of 2.25 for over all courses and 2.4 for pre-business courses. For now, my over all GPA is 2.8 and pre-business courses is 2.2, which creates a barrier for me to register for zicklin school.
I don't know what to do but to blame my poor performance...even if I study a lot, my exam results are still pretty poor whereas my friends have excellent score on their exams. Also, I always have a feeling that all my friends will look down at me because I am useless, so I have always wanted to compete with them as a way to improve my peformance and show them that I am not as useless as they thought. However, it always turns out to be opposite of what I have expected.
I just don't understand why this is happening to me when I am so diligent in all my classes, and this is not fair and I feel tired, but my parents expect me to graduate next year because I am a senior. How am I supposed to graduate without getting into zicklin school!!! please help me!!!!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. First of all, you are not clinically depressed. You are just disappointed due to the lower grade you are scoring. That happens with everyone. When we fail to achieve something, we get disappointed. But we always try to find a different way to overcome the disappointment. If you are unable to score high grades, it is not because you are unable to, it is because you are not doing it right. you are not studying effectively. When any average aspirant can do it, why can't you? Just approach in a different angle, and success is for sure.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
