<p>Hs stats- 3.25 gpa and 27 on ACT; first semester college-barely above a 2.0. I never wanted to come to this college but I'm here anyway. What must I do to transfer? Should I finish out freshman year and then go to cc for a year or two? I didn't think something like this would happen. Is it still possible to transfer to a school that has a minimum gpa requirement of 2.0?</p>

<li><p>Do you have another college that you want to be in or is it anyplace but where you are?</p></li>
<li><p>What state do you reside (prior to going to this college)?</p></li>
<li><p>What are your ambitions after college. Is this the last academic stop or do you want to go to graduate school?</p></li>
<li><p>Is RTOC an option for you or is serving in the armed forces not an option?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Did you fail any classes or get below a C-? If you did, find out about your schools grading policy as far as retaking classes.</p>
<p>If you didn’t, then CC is your best option. Just because certain colleges say that 2.0 is the minimum gpa requirement, doesn’t mean your in. 2.0 is the bare minimum for them to look at your application. Generally, to be considered a competitive candidate for transfer you should have a 3.0 or higher despite what is displayed on some of these college websites.</p>
<p>I go to CC and I was in the same position as you my first year. Both semesters, I screwed up but my third semester I managed to raise my cumlative gpa to a 3.05. It took a lot of work but it was all worth it cause now I can transfer.</p>
<p>bump this post</p>
<p>Unfortunately, you provide no details as too why your performance in the fall term was bad other than you do not like the college you go to.</p>
<p>If you can stay at the school you are in for one more term, I would find 3 or 4 really easy courses that you believe you could get a B+ or greater (taking required courses or course for a major is irrelevant if you plan to leave the school anyway). If you can do better next term, you should have a more competitive applications if it is accompanied by a statement of explaination of why you did poorly…illness in the family, death of a relative, personal maturity issues which are now addressed…etc.</p>
<p>If you must leave the school you are in, I might see if I can take a leave of absense for one term (remain a registered student at the school you wish to leave) and then take courses at one of the schools you wish to go to. Almost all colleges will allow you to take courses at other schools while enrolled. If you can’t take the courses in person, you might be able to take them online. It is usually an easier process to take courses at another college for credit than being accepted as a transfer student.</p>
<p>If you pull a good average for a term, I think you could then go ahead and apply for transfer as you have shown the school that you are capable of good work.</p>
<p>I might have some other ideas if you would answer the questions I posted previously.</p>
