<p>I'm a freshman at Occidental College and I think I might transfer to Vassar, Wesleyan or Trinity College. It's not that I hate Oxy so much as that I think Vassar would be better. I've lived in LA all of my life and I wanted to go out of state but I settled for Occidental because I wanted to be close to home just in case the transition would be rough and it gave me a good scholarship. Could I get in as a transfer applicant junior year?</p>

<p>In my first semester I didn't do as well as I wanted. I got:
Econ 101 A-
French 201 C+
Calc 1 B-
CSP (Writing Core Component) B+
This leaves me with a 3.0 GPA. Next semester I'm going to take
Econ 102
Politics 101
Euro History Since 1700
CSP
For the summer I have an internship lined up with the New York City Economic Development Council, so that would be good since I'm planning on being an Econ major. I'm also a board member of the Occidental Democrats, so it shows leadership. I'm really freaking about my grades, knowing that the acceptance rate is only 10 to 15%. Vassar is my dream school, I just realized it too late.</p>
<p>What should I do?</p>
