<p>Ok so basically my college experience so far has been pretty interesting. I'm off to a very rocky start as a sophomore in college. I attended University of Vermont for a semester and did very poorly there. Now I am at a local community college and have done decent but nothing to write home about. </p>
<p>I am a civil engineer major. I was looking at 3 colleges in particular that I was considering transferring to. Those 3 being University of Arizona, San Joe St university, and University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC). </p>
<p>My composite ACT score out of high school is a 26. </p>
<p>While attending university of vermont for my first semester in college I got very depressed which caused me to do poorly. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I returned home from a psychiatrist. </p>
<p>Here are my Vermont grades:
Chemistry: F
Biology: D
Calculus: F
Political Science: B</p>
<p>Community colleges grades so far:
Critical Thinking: F
Philosophy: A
Micro: B
Macro: A
College Alg: W
Pre calc 2 : W
Physics : W</p>
<p>Current semester (fall 2013)
Engineering graphics: A (hopefully)
Chemistry: B (hopefully)
Pre Calc 2: A (hopefully)
Computer science: W
Architecture: W</p>
<p>I am concerned about my 5 withdrawals and my current 2.75 GPA from community college. My Vermont GPA is very very low and I am nervous to send that 1 semester transcript to the colleges. </p>
<p>My Questions are, do I have a shot of getting into the engineering colleges at these 3 universities at the moment? Are the withdrawals really holding me back? How much longer should I plan staying in community college to boost my GPA and grades? Are these 3 colleges difficult to get accepted into with regards to engineering?</p>
