Hey everyone, my first post here but I have a couple of questions. Before Some background about me, I’m currently a first semester freshman at SUNY Plattsburgh, I have a 4.0 gpa and will most likely finish the semester with that. Due to personal reasons I’m looking to transfer home for a semester and then transfer to another school away from home after that. My questions are 1) will the 4.0 gpa just disappear after I transfer home? 2) does it look bad to transfer that many times? If anyone can help thanks!
A double transfer doesn’t look so good. What is going on to require that one semester at home?
- No though that school may not consider the grades from Plattsburgh. Those grades will count toward any masters program. 2) Yes.
I have some family issues back home and it would probably be better if I was home
Just wondering whether 1 semester will really be enough… is there a four year college near home you can attend and not transfer again?
Yeah but I want to be away from home. Weird situation going on
Is it really going to clear up in a semester?
I’m hoping if not I might have to stay there for a year
Op,
take a leave of absence from your current college after this semester, go home , deal with what is going on there and then apply no later than this March as a transfer student for classes starting next Fall.
That would be MUCH more acceptable and “understandable”… Having a semester gap in your college enrollment history due to extenuating circumstances at home is a perfectly valid reason for the gap and also for wanting to transfer.
DONT try to transfer twice. That makes you look flaky.
