Do I have a chance at transferring to a good college?

<p>I just finished my sophomore year of college. But I've received a 2.2 GPA. Where can I transfer to? </p>

<p>I'm coming from an Ivy League. I have over 80 transferable credits. </p>

<p>My high school grades are outstanding. I was class president, school president, team captain, ect. Finished 3/499 students and have taken 11 AP classes.</p>

<p>But my high school records is a complete opposite of my college records. I have no excuse for the grades I have earned in college.</p>

<p>I've been depressed lately since I was at the top of the world two years ago, now I'm a complete failure. I don't know what colleges will accept me and my parents refuse to let me go to CC to boost my GPA. </p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>You are in a bit of a fix regarding transfer options as a 2.2 GPA, even from an Ivy will severely impede transferring to most good colleges…whether Ivy peers or even schools a tier or two down. </p>

<p>This is made worse by the fact that if you’re completing your sophomore year, your college grades will be weighed much more heavily by transfer admissions than your high school record and standardized scores. </p>

<p>Is there a way you can find ways to stick it out and finish your college career at your current institution through reaching out for more academic and personal counseling? </p>

<p>Maybe consider take a temporary leave of absence for health/personal reasons?</p>

<p>If you don’t mind my asking, what do you think was the cause of your undergraduate academic performance?</p>

<p>You’d be better off significantly reducing your workload or taking a semester off to regroup for one term. You are already in an Ivy League so you don’t want to lose that school and it’s resources. The world is not over, you are young and have an opportunity to bounce back. The common thread I see with a lot of Ivy League types is that they get burned out early. They bust their ASSES to get into college, but have nothing left to give when they get there or the kid has never been challenged by anything until they get to college and they get their bubble busted and don’t know how to handle it. You are NOT a failure. Stuff happens. </p>

<p>An other thing, was the Ivy League school your choice or your parents’ choice? Maybe you’ll flourish at a different school. Find what works for you but if you can help it, stay at your current school and GET HELP. They have resources, use them.</p>
