<p>I had 4 classes this year; I got either B-, B, or B+ in all of my classes.
I’m very depressed and feel hopeless since I’m trying to transfer to couple most competitive schools in the US . I knew that I had to study more and put more effort in college, but this semester I was totally not disciplined enough to live away from home, therefore not studying at all, but partying.</p>

<p>The workload in college isn’t demanding, so I know that I could have done better. I’m oh so very depressed that my grades are embarrassingly low.</p>

<p>I just feel like it’s the end of the world, since 1) I’m trying to transfer to really competitive schools 2)I want to go to ivy league school for my graduate.
Only if I could start over everything....</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>first year average is only 2.6 at my school, so you're above average, but only slightly.</p>

<p>good job slightly above average brah.</p>

<p>oh man.... you got all B's? now you DEFINITELY cant go anywhere in life. you may as well drop out of college.</p>

<p>seriously though, its not the end of the world. work harder next sem and try to get your gpa as close to 3.5 as possible to transfer.</p>

<p>as for grad school... you have PLENTY of time to raise your gpa. just relax. youll be ok.</p>

<p>I WISH I could get all B's...even for one semester...</p>

<p>Look on the positive side, now you can work harder and show a trend of improvement during your time in college. Graduate schools LOVE that. Additionally, if you managed the above, then you have great material for your personal essay about how you overcame adversity and managed to claw your way back. Great stuff. Of course, that all depends on whether you can actually do that.</p>

<p>fyi, the "Ivy League" does NOT exist in graduate school. For grad school, what matters is your mentor not the school (unless in business, med, or law school, but even then, it's not necessarily top UG schools that are top professional schools)</p>

<p>and you can bring that up but you're going to need to learn some discipline and work your butt off.</p>

<p>All you can do is get your butt in gear from now on. Recognize that you messed up and change your behavior.</p>

<p>But I recommend instead that you get over your need to go to the "best schools" and get the "best grades" and instead focus on your own personal development.</p>
