I NEED HELP WITH TRANSFERING

Transfer Students
1

I currently go to a school in rhode island which is about 40 minutes away from my house and it’s TERRIBLE. I’m thinking of applying to schools such as temple, umasss amherst, Emory. The Problem is I am a freshman in college and currently on my sceound semster, My gpa for last semster was a 2.6( H.S Gpa is 2.7) and I’m thinking of retaking the class over summer. I just want to apply to these schools (I have 8 of them on commonapp) to see if i can be that one in a million that gets in. If I retake that one class I will deff have at least a 3.2 gpa

  1. Should I retake the class that brought my gpa down over the summer or next semster?
    2? Should I send in my my transfer applications now or after the summer class if I take it? Which might end the begining or mid june? Would that be too late in and decrease my chances of getting in to the schools?

PLEASE HELP ME!

  1. Retake the class over the summer

It’s a two part thing really, I’m still applying for school in fall but I am asking should I apply after I retake the class?

Or should I apply now since I wouldn’t be in the bare scraps of application leftovers?

Did you check to see if those schools take freshman/sophomore transfers?
Can you afford those out of state public schools?
Most transfers don’t get financial aid help; they get even less if they are from OOS.
