Can You Get Into Grad School If...

In undergrad I failed a few classes? How does it work?

It may depend on your GPA as some graduate programs do not admit applicants with a GPA below a certain number (regardless of whether you failed a course or not). And I agree with wanton that it will also depend if those classes were in the field you wish to study (if not, admissions may be willing to overlook it).

(I'm currently applying to graduate programs so I've been reading a lot about admissions and what is required from various schools).

@SW-User i had a really rough start with college and didn't do well in music theory but I want to pursue music therapy. Afraid I'll not make it

@InvictusIndigo Well, you should definitely go for it. You have a chance to explain yourself in the application. It isn't just about the numbers.
are the classes within your major field of study? have you taken the GRE?
@InvictusIndigo being within your major is likely to hurt you/make you do lots of dancing, singing the 'I was so much wilder and younger then, I'm more responsible than that now' song as well as possibly limit the schools that are likely to take you. make sure you kill the GRE hard and that will help you to not have to sing and dance so much.

@stound thank you. What's the GRE?
@InvictusIndigo Graduate Record Exam. like the SAT/ACT/et al college admissions tests but for grad school.
