Messed up my freshman year HELP with school choices!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So in high school I did very well. Lots of extracurriculars and volunteering. Had a 3.8 GPA and did decent on the SAT with a 1600. </p>

<p>I got into Chico State, Azusa Pacific, Sonoma State, and UC Santa Cruz. I chose UCSC because it was the best school I got into. My mom had some health problems and I had to drive home every weekend. Ended freshman year with a 2.08 :((( </p>

<p>My moms better now and I want to transfer out of state because CA's budget is awful...I'm a current VA resident from sacramento. I'm going to a local community college to work and get my grades up. But I want to transfer to these schools for fall 2013 so please help an give advice!</p>

<p>Univ of Nevada, Reno
UC Davis
Univ of Arizona
Boise State University
Univ of Alabama
Univ of Georgia
Chico State
Univ of Texas, Austin
Texas A&M
Ohio State
Louisiana State Univ
Univ of Virginia
Univ of Colorado, Boulder
I know some are a stretch but I have good writing skills for a personal statement</p>

<p>I’m not sure I understand why you want to transfer. How does the budget impact you? Why is UCD ond Chico on the list? I think UCD is great, if you get in, but won’t be any easier than UCSC. Do you have a plan to pay? I’m guessing some of the schools are parts of the exchange with California, right? </p>

<p>Anyway, the obvious suggestion is to work on your GPA, but applications for the California public schools will be due before you can do much. Do you know if thereof a minimum grade to transfer into any of those schools?</p>

<p>I just don’t like the atmosphere of UCSC I chose the complete wrong school for me. I chose Chico as kind of a back up/safety and UC Davis just in case I decide to stay in CA. I looked online and a lot just said a “C-” or better in classes. I know for UT at Austin I have to have a resume for the past 5 years and write 2 essays</p>
