a couple of questions...

<p>any help would be appreciated:
1.i'm currently miserable at my CC. a bunch of factors have led to a fairly low GPA (3.3). I am planning to transfer to a state school for the spring, give up alot of the credits i earned here so i'll be a second semester freshman. i had wanted to go to Amherst, Dartmouth or College of the Atlantic but I would have to stay at my CC for an extra year to get my GPA back up or transfer to another CC and again, spend extra time there (which i thought about) but i'm sick of delaying. i wouldnt be upset if i had to stay at the state school, i'll be happy just getting to take something other than a survey course. my question is, could i apply for transfer again to those schools from the state school? and how would having gone to a CC then to a state school effect my chances??
2. i'm worried about ECs. i work fulltime 40+hrs a week and take a full courseload (15credits a semesteR). i have next to no time for clubs, sports, etc even though i really want to be involved. can i count my job as an EC??</p>
