Did I screw myself over?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am wondering if I will be unaccepted as a spring transfer student for Temple University. I am transferring as a freshman but I did poorly in my first semester in community college. Temple never requested updated community college grades. I already accepted financial aid, paid my deposits, and picked my room and meals. I haven't picked classes yet, I am going for my orientation next week. </p>

<p>I applied to Temple as a transfer before my first week in community college and was accepted. This means that I was accepted based off of my one college credit from high school, a C, my high school grades, and my SAT scores. I had a 3.3 HS GPA and took 2 AP classes and one college in high school class but never took the AP test. I got 1130 on my SATs (1730 on all 3). </p>

<p>I took 4 online classes at community college and did really bad. (If anyone is considering this option make sure you are self motivated enough and will put in the time to complete all the work. I found it too easy to forget to login and therefore forget assignments.) I got one B, one D, and 2 C's. Now obviously the D will not transfer, so I will have 12 total college credits with a GPA of 2.2. </p>

<p>Temple's transfer section under "What we consider" they say "Our average GPA for transfer admission is 3.10 with 15 or more attempted credits" and "We also look at your high school academic record, especially if you’ve taken fewer than 30 college credits". My registration says "Your Class for registration purposes is Freshman 0 to 29 Credits". </p>

<p>THE SHORT VERSION</p>

<p>Will they unaccept me at my orientation next week? academic "stats" summed up below
15 attempted credits (12 transferrable), 1 B, 3 C's, 1 D.
HS GPA 3.3
SAT score 1730</p>

<p>With that few college credits, your acceptance is based primarily on your HS records and they will consider you a Freshman. It is unlikely that they will rescind the admissions at this point but you will have to send your final transcripts at some point so that transfer credit can be evaluated.</p>

<p>However, four your own peace of mind, you need to discuss this at the time of orientation. No need to do it sooner since there is no time. They may decide that you need to repeat some of the courses that you did poorly in.</p>

<p>Yes, they consider me a freshman. I assumed we would go over the the credits when I went next week and they would tell me I couldn’t transfer my D, but I was really worried they would rescind my admission. </p>

<p>My cousin had me convinced that I wasn’t going to be accepted anymore because of my grades. He claimed there was a 3.1 GPA and 15 credit minimum for transfers, so until last night I was expecting to finish my associates degree at community college.</p>
