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.
