<p>So I am a current SUNY community college student returning to college after 2 years from a failed attempt(with a B for philo and a Passing for remedial math but 2 W's), and my fall semester grades weren't the best(A for useless class, B+ for English, C for College Algebra, and 2 W's). But I intend to take only 12 credits next semester and then 9ish from then on, so I can give myself some very nice grades. I want to transfer to a college that is very good for psychology(especially quantitative psychology or behavioral neuroscience, cognitive science is OK too especially if its dominated by facility favoring the embodied approach), and math and statistics. I have a safe school, which is SUNY Plattsburgh and a B school which is SUNY Binghamton or Brockport. However, I would like some recommendations. First preference is major quality and respect, next preference is affordability, I live on my own and I don't get a independent FAFSA for 4 years. Last is preference for new york.</p>
<p>I suggest you reconsider your major. Going into math/stats or “quantitative psych” when you have a P in remedial math and a C in college algebra should be a non-starter.</p>
<p>I agree. It only gets more difficult. You either take some more math courses at the CC level and learn to ace them or find something else. With your grades, getting into Binghamton is iffy, IMO, and you so your choices from what you have given are Brockport and Plattsburgh. I have no idea if there is any preference for either school . Frankly, I think the grades you get will be much more important. I ;m a NYer and i couldn’t tell you which of the smaller SUNYs are better than the other.</p>
<p>I would agree, however firstly the remedial is a P/NP grade, and secondly im willing to forgive my C sense it is my first time back to college in 2 years.</p>
<p>It’s not a matter of forgiving the “C”. It’s that the college math courses due build on the info. You need to make sure you have a solid grasp of the math foundations if you expect to go into any math based advanced courses. A C is not likely to cut for the next course up. Fine for fulfilling a terminal math requirement when you aren’t going into the field, but I recommend that you take some other basic courses and get some solid A-B grades before going into a heavy duty math program. I 've seen too many go into these fields unprepared and flush out The attrition rate for STEM courses is very high . Don’t want you making the same mistake. You can lose your fin aid, run out of fin aid trying to get this together. Make sure you have it in control. Not something one can easily do on the fly when it comes to mathematics.</p>
<p>Dont worry I do plan to do pre calc and calc 1 before I decide on my 4 year major. :)</p>
<p>Focus on doing pre-calc and calc 1, at CC if you can, and retake Calc 1 at a four year school.</p>
<p>Also, you mention you are disabled. Does that have any impact on what you choose?</p>
<p>Slight impact, like I would prefer one that has special help for autistic individuals or people on SSDI, but its not super important as far as decision goes.</p>
