I didn't do well in my first year and 1/2 of college. Is there still a chance for me to transfer?

<p>In my senior year of high school I went through mild depression and didn't do good enough to get into a university. I also had to move from Canada to the U.S. because my parents decided to move and I didn't have enough money to live on my own. So I ended up going to a Community College (College of Dupage) in 2013 Spring but when I started college I had no clue what to major in and I wasn't motivated. This is how I'm doing in school so far:</p>

<p>1rst semester:
-English 1 (B)
-Intro to Art (B)
-Math upgrading (B)
-Intro to Psychology (B)
-A&P 1 (D)</p>

<p>Summer:
-Math upgrading (C)</p>

<p>2nd semester:
-Child Psych (C)
-Sociology (C)
-English 2 (A)
-Math upgrading (F)
-History (20th century - W)</p>

<p>3rd semester
-History (U.S. - C)
-Developmental Psych (B)
-A&P 1 (W)
-Math upgrading (F)</p>

<p>Summer:
-Intro to Philosophy (B)</p>

<p>And these are the classes I'm currently taking
-A&P 1
-Foods and Nutrition
-Math Upgrading
-Math Upgrading (W)</p>

<p>I decided I to major in Nursing and based on how I'm doing I thought I should do my ADN and then complete my Bachelors degree with a University. However, I thought it would be better if I tired to transfer to a four year college but since I'm doing poorly (I have a 2.5 gpa) I'm not sure if that's possible. Basically I wanted to know if there's still a chance for me to transfer to a University or if I should forget about it and do my ADN.</p>

<p>I think you should finish ADN before apply to a 4 year college. From now on you should try to do better so you could go to a better school for the same money. </p>

<p>The repeated Fs and then a W in math aren’t going to look good. Neither will the D and the W in A&P. I’d strongly suggest cracking down and doing better in those classes. </p>

<p>What is math upgrading? Is that a remedial math course? If so, universities like to see students complete at least one college level math course prior to transferring. That’s not necessarily a set in stone policy, but it is a general preference. </p>

<p>It’s not impossible to transfer with a 2.5 GPA. You’re going to be a lot more limited in your choices though. Nursing programs can be fairly competitive in many areas, so you want to make sure that you’re the best candidate you can possibly be. </p>
