Is it a bad idea for me to transfer?

Transfer Students

<p>OK so I originally attended this piece of **** college, so I transferred to a piece of **** university. It was basically the "lesser of two evil pieces of ****", and my grades at the first school were apparently not good enough to get into anywhere decent. Also, I probably didn't send in my application as soon as I should have.</p>

<p>Anyway, in May I will have finished my 3rd year of college, but I just can't stand this hellhole anymore.</p>

<ul>
<li>Has anyone else transferred this late?</li>
<li>Is it likely for a school to accept someone who is transferring this late?</li>
<li>Would this add a lot of time to how long I spend in school?</li>
</ul>

<p>Also, since I doubt I can transfer anywhere for the upcoming fall 2010 semester, would it be a good idea or a bad idea to drop out for a semester?</p>

<p>All help is appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s not too late to fill out the application (For the Fall Term of 2010), but those who submitted by the deadline would be more of a priority than you are. I’ve known many friends (recently) who’ve submitted their apps late. When filling it out give a reason why you’re submitting it past the deadline.</p>

<ol>
<li>ive seen someone transfer with 96 units.</li>
<li>possible</li>
<li>probably 2 more years</li>
</ol>

<p>correct me if im wrong, but if you transfer somewhere they wil want you to either

  1. have taken their upper div major courses already to be considered a 3rd year
  2. take all the pre reqs for ur major and then start upper div </p>

<p>so if your upper div classes are equivalent to what other colleges have, then i think you should be good. otherwise ull hafta start back from step 1…</p>

<p>and u cant transfer anywhere fall 2010 cuz admission deadline was last year (im sure you already knew) and id stay in school. if you want to transfer, i dont think colleges like to see a break in your education unless there some super good reason.</p>

<p>Research the residency requirements before you apply. Most colleges want you to spend at least two years taking classes at their campus, so even if you complete requirements before then, they won’t give you a degree. Not sure what Dainese means about the deadline being last year, many schools have a much later application deadline for transfers.</p>

<p>there are some SUNYs that will take 90 credits from you. take a look at their pages on collegeboard or on the SUNY website. best of luck</p>
