<p>Thanks for all the information so far. I see what you mean about credits, and now I’m really considering taking less credits this fall than I was going to. </p>
<p>mom2collegekids: Yeah, I know about transferring mid-year. I am really intent on doing so, otherwise I wouldn’t. I’m trying to find schools that would be more likely to have money to give mid-year. </p>
<p>HOWEVER THERE’S A NEW PROBLEM.</p>
<p>I’m thinking that if I get into, say, UVA in the spring (or nowhere), I won’t be able to transfer <em>again</em> to a few schools I was going to apply to that only take students in the fall, will I? If I was going to transfer in the fall, I’d have to make sure I don’t take any more credits this spring. (And if there’s one thing I hate, it’s being out of school! Especially for longer than I have to…) And if I don’t get in for the spring, I’m going to be very worried about completing my Associate’s degree. Because it will be over 63 credits if I take another semester.</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad: No worries. Let’s see…I actually have no idea that my cum GPA would be, because I don’t know my grades at the art school (I just ordered an unofficial transcript though). But I just did the math and I think it’d be a 3.0, counting both schools and my dual enrollment classes. Would it be worse to send my HS transcript, if I have the option? Do schools want to see that you once made D’s in HS but now you make A’s…or do they not want to see those D’s in the first place? Same for SATs. I got a 1940; it’s not especially good or bad, so if I have the option, should I send these scores?</p>
