I need help and time is running out.

<p>So I have been rejected from all the schools I applied due to probably the worst year of my life but that aside I am trying to formulate a plan of action so I dont get left by the wayside.</p>

<p>The problem is I am completely lost. Here's what I have come up with:</p>

<p>Go to Eastern Michigan University, WCC, or University of Michigan Dearborn and transfer out after my first year, I have the work ethic to pull it off but I dont know if colleges allow that.</p>

<p>My issue is I really dont know where I want to transfer to. I really want to study buisness-internet marketing more of. I was thinking about the UofM but I heard about the issues of transferring into Ross. </p>

<p>Can anyone shed some light on the situation, any who has already been through something like this please share.</p>

<p>***Forgot to mention I am still in high school, finishing up my senior year.</p>

<p>daabatan - I’m not a resident of Michigan so I wouldn’t know too much about the advantage of transferring in that state. But considering that I’m from California and I go to a Community College, I believe that Michigan should have a sort of Transfer Admission Guarentee program so you can be able to transfer to you desired college in Michigan. I don’t really know if you can be able to transfer out of one year with that plan but I do know that University of Michigan Ann Arbor (great engineering and business program) is able to let you transfer when you’re a freshmen for sophomore standing, you just need the minumum of 24 semester transferrable units.</p>

<p>Since you’re looking to transfer out of one year, your high school record (GPA and SAT’s) will still be reviewed harshley for admissions. My recommendation is stay for 2 years (gives colleges more time to weight your college record rather than your hs) if your high school record is not as great because it may hinder your admissions decision.</p>

<p>Ross School of Business is a bit weird in transferring and graduating. I believe they have a 3-year BBA program in which admitted students are required stay for. Some students that are a part of Ross graduate in 5-6 years because of the rough curriculm.</p>

<p>Thanks for responding.
Yea I was told my high school transcript would still come into review I have a 3.3 GPA right now and my SAT is 1880 but I plan on taking the SAT again because the score I have now is from taking the test for my first time, so I know with some prep I could get 2000+.
Would a new score count though and would my GPa from college and high school be averaged?</p>

<p>i would choose dearborn</p>

<p>Could I hear your reasoning behind suggesting dearborn?</p>

<p>daabatan - If you retake the SAT most likely they will see it. But remember not to take it more than 3 times or they’ll average I believe. As for reviewing the GPA’s, no they won’t average your HS and College GPA together. They are reviewed seperately, if you are a sophomore intending for junior standing than you will most likely have your college GPA weighed heavily and not your HS record. But if you’re a freshmen transfer for sophomore standing HS record will be weighed along with your College.</p>

<p>I would say go to WCC. D is finishing up her second year there. There are no guarantess for transfer to UMich, but they do have a program that will really help your chances. Lots of great teachers at WCC have taught at both MSU and UMich. The money saved on tuition will help you go to your school of choice when you transfer out.
I know it seems awful now, but a year or two of good grades at a cc will open doors that aren’t open to you now. Many schools will not look at HS GPA after you have earned a certain number of college credits. They will look at SAT scores however, so a retake will benefit you in the long run.</p>
