<p>Im sorry if this is in the wrong section but there are a few topics involved. I finished my first two semesters of college with an accumulative gpa of 2.575. My first semester was a 3.0, but I failed a neuroscience class second semester which brought my gpa down. I understand it's not the end of the world, but I'm definitely out of that high school state of mind, as I know what I'll have to do to improve it. But as an accounting major, is it possible for me to reach a high enough GPA that I'll still have plenty of opportunities when I get out of school.? </p>
<p>I only have 21 credits as well. I planned on staying at the same school but Im not sure if I can due to our financial circumstances. So I was thinking about transferring to another school, either Temple, Rutgers, or one of the PA state schools. </p>
<p>I read that when transferring, if you have under 30 credits, some schools may take your sat scores into consideration. I only got a 1450, should I take them again.? Since my gpa isnt exactly attractive, is there anything else I could do to increase my chances at getting accepted to another school.?</p>
<p>You need to contact the transfer admissions officers at each of the universities that you are considering, and ask them how to proceed. They will tell you if their institution requires the SAT in your specific case, and whether or not a new score is useful.</p>
<p>Since you have financial issues, you need to find out just exactly how much your parents can contribute. Which is your state of residence, PA or NJ? That may decide where you can transfer and still afford your education.</p>
<p>I appreciate the quick response. I’ll start emailing the offices now. And PA is my state residence. I figured that if I applied to Rutgers, they’d offer merit scholarships since they are a little on the high side. I’m definitely applying to Temple, and a few PA state schools, (West Chester and Shippensburg). Alot of people that graduated from my high school attend the state schools and suggest I do the same cause of the cost, but accreditation is somewhat of importance to me, unlike them. If you could recommend any schools I should look into, that’d be appreciated as well.</p>
<p>You need to carefully read through the Rutgers website to find out if they offer any aid other than federally determined (FAFSA) aid to out-of-state students. Most public universities don’t.</p>
<p>I don’t know why I was thinking that Rutgers was a private school lol. It wouldn’t hurt to still look though. Again, thank you for the help.</p>
