<p>Okaaaaay; I'm at Penn State (Main) but I'm from Maryland/DC. </p>
<p>My GPA after this semester (First semester, Freshman year) is a 2.75 ... I only took three classes (BUT I was full time because my Italian class was 6 credits on it's own) I was in 4 but withdrew from Intro to Poli Sci (~500 people) because it was based on three tests and for the second test I was home and in the hospital do to a Lupus flair up, when I emailed the teacher he never answered and in class I spoke to the TA and he said he would email me about a make up test and IF it was allowed but he never emailed me and it got to stressful because I had already gotten a 74 on the first test...</p>
<p>Anyways, ever since about late september I've been seriously looking at transferring but I feel like I have NO options now, I wanted to go somewhere on the same level as PSU (Pref. University of Miami in Florida)</p>
