<p>Hey fellow users.</p>
<p>I am currently a Freshman in Rutgers School of Engineering (about finish second semester). Currently majoring in Biomedical Engineering. My past hasn’t been the best. Before I ask my question, I would like you to have a better understanding of my life.
SAT Score: 1750<br>
Fell into a minor depression during this time because I got falsely arrested because my closest friends blamed their crimes on me. It took 3 years to get my name clear but during that time, my parents and I lost hope in me. I thought my life was over. In addition, I was cheated out of being valedictorian and kicked out of my own team that went to nationals of the “Sea Perch Competition”. I built a submarine and was kicked off the team because I was “too old”. Apparently my school only wanted Juniors not Seniors. Going to college has improved my self confidence. </p>
<p>Rutgers School of Engineering Semester Grades:
First Semester:
-Calc 3: A
-Chem 1: B+
-Physics 1a: A
-Psychology: B+
-Expository Writing: B+
-MATLab: B+
Current GPA: 3.667
(I am very mad about Chem 1 and Psychology. Both were an easy A for me but I became over confident and didn’t study that much for the final and was 1 point away from an A. Most of my source of anger and frustration). </p>
<p>Second Semester (Guesses from Past Grades):
-Calc 4: A
-Chem 2: A
-Physics 1b: A
-Statics: A or B+ (A if I do well on Final)
-Chem Lab: A
-Polish 102: A</p>
<p>Third Semester Classes:
-Organic Chemistry
-Physics 2a
-Intro to Biomedical Engineering
-Bio 1</p>
<p>Taking less classes because Organic Chemistry is rumored to be the hardest class in Rutgers so I want to have extra time for it. </p>
<p>Get ready everyone. Here is my question. I am thinking of trying to transfer to UPenn or Cornell or Columbia or any much better school. But I am probably going to be accepted into Rutgers Honors Engineering Program. Should I try to transfer during my Sophomore year of college? Is it too late? Is my SAT score or my first semester grades going to hold me back?</p>
<p>It is my dream to go to Medical School. But I am afraid I am not good enough. The second I actually believe I can do it and become a great successful doctor, I see people with 4.0 GPAs without much effort. I feel like I already got eliminated because as they are taking much higher classes while we are the same age. I don’t think I am not good enough. I don’t want people to give me fake hope, I want realism. What do I have to do to actually get to that level. Should I retake Psychology to get an A? I am just very confused. Should I transfer schools to increase my chance to getting into medical school?<br>
Thank you for taking your time to read this. </p>
