<p>I'm currently going to attend St.Johns University in the fall. I'm pretty much just going their cause I didnt get accepted into OSU or UALBANY which were my first choices. I really should have went to community college but my parents are forcing me to go to st.johns. My loans are coming out to 20000 pretty much a year. I want to transfer but before I transfer my parents want me to pick a major. I was thinking of either majoring in business, pharmacy, sports medicine, or some sort of law Yeah i know a wide range of feilds. I'm still pretty much undecided. Also the fact is I dont want to live at home I want to dorm somewhere and I want to attempt a sport that I played in high school whether it be track and feild, football or wrestling. Schools that I think of applying to were Virginia,Penn State, Ohio State, Temple. What other schools would I have a shot of getting into as a sophomore if I did very well in college freshman year.
H.S Stat
2.3 GPA
1430 SATS
Med amount of E/Cs</p>
<p>shameless bump</p>
<p>in the future, i guess irrelevant to the advice your looking for, i'd just suggest you stop listening to your folks = )</p>
<p>you will get into osu and temple. they have transfer acceptance rates over 70% -_- but don't expect any aid from osu. they offer so many merit transfer scholarships and i only got one 3k scholarship with a 3.85 gpa and no grants. they expected me to take out 30k in loans a year. osu smells.</p>
<p>penn state will be a little more difficult to transfer into, but i don't even think you can transfer directly into their main campus (university park). i'm pretty sure you have to go to one of their smaller satellite campuses before you can transfer into the main campus.</p>
<p>as for uva, you're talking about an elite public university. i don't think you'll get in as a sophomore transfer unless you pull a 3.8+ gpa along with great recs/essays/ecs.</p>
<p>Yeah is it even possible to get scholarships and fincial aid non loans from transfer schools. Also would you have to put them on your Fafsa when your doing them.</p>
<p>Also is 20000 a year in loans way too much</p>
<p>yes (10 chars)</p>
<p>Really, I was rather shocked that your parents insisted you go to St. John's with that kind of debt load (unless they are going to pay it back for you). I, personally, would have directed my child to the cc, as you suggested.</p>
<p>No matter how much you love and respect your parents, I don't think you should feel obligated to go to the school of their choice, if it means that type of debt for you.</p>
<p>the mom above put it well....seriously live your own life. your an adult for gods sake lol</p>
<p>you can still withdraw from SJU and go to the CC (suffolk or nassau i assume)</p>
<p>you would probably not get much money from Penn State either</p>
