it's okay everybody I got 3 As and a B

also save yourself even more money and don't go to college and just get into computer sciences

just graduated with my b.s. in geospatial engineering not only debt free, but with a good amount of money in the bank
granted, i worked engineering jobs during those 5 years too.

go to college if you are doing STEM.
if you're doing something useless like women's studies or arts, that's just a bad judgement call and you deserve the debt

Kinesiology may be considered stem in a way I guess if you consider it a life science -> biology -> stem
but I need a bachelor's to be eligible to take the test

luckily I too should be walking out debt free and if I get into the GA program I'm looking at I'll basically get all my masters paid for too

not much you can do. it's a third party seller, they dont have to abide by any refund policies unless they want to.

From what I was reading on the seller's forums, the third party sellers have to at least match Amazon's return and refund policy

But the thing is if they say they are gonna refund it then they have to refund it, if they don't you can sue them.

Well I wouldn't sue obviously. I would bit the bullet and take an L on the $280, but I would hope I'd get the camera back if it "wasn't received" and then I'd just sell it on Ebay as an import.

I purchased a camera on Amazon from a third party seller, DIGITALUNIVERSE. I was in somewhat of a rush to purchase the camera and didn't look over the advertisement fully. It turns out the camera is imported or a grey market camera, which I don't want especially since it's a gift.

I buy a new US version of the same camera for roughly the same price and I request a return on the other camera. My return is accepted and they give me a shipping label. I have to pay for postage, which I don't mind, but the company says they can't issue the refund until they receive the camera.

Well, reading some of their feedback (they garner 5 star feedback by offering free stuff for 5 star reviews) it seems that a few other people have had issues with their refunds not being given even though they have shipped (and supposedly delivered) their returns.

So now I wondering what to do. I have to pay postage and I'll probably get shipping insurance, but Im wondering how can I ship the item to make sure that I can confirm the item has been received and that I get my refund. I read other stories of Amazon refusing to help out and denying claims because they couldn't confirm the item was returned.

Does anyone have experience or have suggestions for what I should do?

What college are you going to?

I know theres this guy who goes to UMass with me and he literally live in the dorm next to mine but I've never met him.

Anyways, I finished my 2nd year of college. College goes by so quickly

i don't really have to worry about general education classes since i had enough AP credits and dual enrollment credits to bypass that crap
so most of my classes will go towards my major

dont worry im sure whatever college you go to will figure out a way to forget you over and say half those credits cant count

Email your professor and respectfully ask if he'll bump it up. If there are barely any borderline scores like yours and his grade distribution is off, he'll consider it.

Only do this though if you actually showed up to class and can demonstrate other reasons why you should have gotten an A.

Our professor said she won't bump any grades. Also, the class is 300+ students and they don't take attendance so rip there goes my GPA
