Bad GPA... questions?

Transfer Students

<p>I'm currently a HS senior looking at an 86.5 GPA for freshman-Junior year. Since senior year won't factor in; I'm locked in with my 86.5.(3.2?) Being brutally honest here: I have very few EC's, and a 2100? SAT. </p>

<p>Since I won't be able to get into schools like Cornell, Emory, or CM; I'm thinking about going to college locally and then transferring out. Since my mother is a professor at a college near my house; I can go there for free.</p>

<p>How long will I have to stay at this local college before I can apply(with a 4.0 hopefully) to another school?</p>

<p>Off topic question: The gen-ed requirements at many schools I'm looking into say you must take courses in "Language and Communication - Composition, Oral Communication and Foreign Language." Does this mean I'll have to take SPANISH again!? nooo.. :(</p>

<p>I’m not sure what scale your GPA is on so I can’t judge but your SAT score is decent. </p>

<p>To transfer, you have to stay at the college for at least two semesters before you transfer. Some schools might even require two years. Just check their websites. </p>

<p>Composition courses are basically college level English courses. They’re required. As far as language goes, it depends on the school and on your major. If you have taken a language in high school, you should be good for that requirement. But, some majors and schools require you to take a language while in college as well.</p>
