I’m currently attending Florida State University but I am looking for a school that fits me better. I was part of a bad crowd in high school and by junior year I had a 3.2 UW and a 4.8 W. By senior year I improved by a lot (most of my grades were an A). My UW went to a 3.3 and my W went to a 5.2. I passed the AP Calc exam. When I got into Florida State University, I was unhappy, chose a major that wasn’t for me, and overall was not concentrated like I should have been. My FSU GPA is a 3.1 but my College GPA is a 3.2. I switched my major to Computer Science from biology and I plan on working really hard to hopefully transfer after my first semester as a Sophomore. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do other than increase my academics?
Have you read @jstanhope14’s testimony on this forum? That would be a good place to start.
My suggestion is to treat FSU as if it is already a good fit, and to work toward your potential in your classes. This will create a good foundation for you during this important stage of your college education. Then, almost as an ancillary benefit, you will have the grades to transfer to a college that you might prefer.
If you would like something more specific, from the Hamilton College website: “successful [transfer] applicants have typically earned a college GPA of 3.33 or higher.”
I hope the computer science is working out for you. Good luck.
