I'm Really Worried About Transferring (Scared..)...

<p>I'd like to transfer to the "University of Illinois Urbana Champaign" (UIUC) for the fall of 2011.</p>

<p>Problem is that I'm verry worriiedd...</p>

<p>Cliffs:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Went to Dominican University freshman year...I failed to go to my four classes due to depression and stress and as a result I received an "F" for all of those courses..I was then suspended until I raise my GPA at another community college.</p></li>
<li><p>I decided to go to two community colleges to fix everything up. I managed to receive a 3.9 GPA at both community colleges with 40 college credits.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>If I continue well this semester and complete a total of 61 credit hours with a 3.9 GPA at both colleges.+have a HORRIBLE transcript from the University I previously went to....what are my chances of being accepted as a transfer student at UIUC (University of Illinois Urbana Champaign) ?</p>

<p>...or any other university in the top 50 rank...or even top 30.</p>

<p>I am going to have to say that your chances are still not very promising. Colleges will certainly notice that you have been doing well in your last 40 credits of college work but 4 F’s at the 4 year university will still haunt them. Here is why I think your chances are still pretty slim</p>

<p>1) You started out at a 4 year university, failed all your classes there, and transferred to a 2 year college. The transition should be the other way around. ADCOM will think you are trying to take the easy way out.</p>

<p>2) How did you fail all your classes? I understand you were depressed but it just shows you were irresponsible.</p>

<p>I am not sure what your GPA will be if you calculated them altogether but if you have 3.0 or above you have a chance.
You need to write an essay addressing why you failed those 4 classes at the university.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty solid chance, actually. Lots of people have trouble early in their college careers. That one blown semester is going to be offset by a full two years of high-quality college-level work.</p>

<p>Address your attitude change in your essay and letters of recommendation, if required.</p>

<p>Look for public institutions, which generally accept many more transfers than private universities.</p>
