<p>Hello, everyone! Currently I attend Elon University, but I am having to transfer next semester for financial and health reasons.

<p>COLLEGE:</p>

<p>Other details: I am a Maryland resident, which I suppose will give me an edge for the in-state schools I applied to.
- I received credit for Environmental Science, English Language, English Lit, Psychology, and US Government, which means I entered college with 20 credits. I will end this semester with 37 credits, consequently.</p>
<p>I really appreciate you taking the time to chance me. I am extremely anxious and counting the days until I hear back from these colleges (which could be as soon as this week or as far away as January).</p>
<p>But really, thank you!</p>
<p>EDIT: I apologize for any grammatical errors within the text of my post. I cracked my tooth and am on Vicodin, so as you can imagine, I am "out of it." It took me like 5 minutes to even remember what classes I am taking this semester. haha</p>
