<p>Im going to be attending Ocean County college in new jersey, all my friends left and im stuck home, because i decided to stay home at community college, problem is i want to go away now. Im looking to either transfer to East Carolina University or West Virginia University, I have heard that both these schools are not that hard to get into, my HS grades were ok my gpa was about a 2.8-3.0 . Problem is im only taking 7 transferable credits this semster because i got stuck taking non transferable credits classes because of my sat score, which is a 920 math and reading combined. So what should i do? Could i get into ecu or wvu after one semster if i get great grades in those classes? And should i take my SAT again and do better, so i could up my chances of getting in, both these schools require at least a 2.5 gpa in hs, which i have better, but they also require 4 units of math in high school, i took 4 but failed one, because of slacking, so what are my chances</p>
<p>Hard to say. You should call the admissions offices at both schools and ask what you should do to optimize your chances of acceptance and what would be the best path to take. I think if you apply after one semester at the Comm. College, you’ll still be applying as a freshman rather than a transfer student because you will have so few transferrable hours.</p>
<p>Out of high school I had rough grades also (about a 2.57 GPA, 1780 SAT). Needless to say I got in to ECU and I’m out of state (from Virginia). Only thing is I did go to a pretty good private high school, but it was no where near a prep school or anything like that. I would say they would accept you, but just in case try to get good grades at your community college, etc.</p>
<p>Yeah I would definitely contact the Admissions Office. While ECU is “known for easy admission,” I heard they are also cracking down. Just try to do the best you can this semester, and it should help.</p>
