Need help with future plans!

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'll start by saying I had a rough start to my undergraduate experience. After spending a year at The University of Oregan, I decided to move back home to maryland in order to deal with some personal issues that had greatly affected both my academic and social experience at school. Now, a full year later !!!! , I am ready to start fresh and work towards a degree. Only problem is that my overall college gpa is farrrrr below what any good college would accept right now. So, here are my options:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Take courses at my dream school ( George Washington U.) as a non degree seeking student for a semester, and later apply as a full time student.</p></li>
<li><p>Enroll in a community college and later apply to a four year university.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I'm leaning towards the first option because I feel like taking GWU classes and doing well in them would give me a greater chance in being accepted. </p>

<p>Can anyone please give me some advice?</p>

<p>Personally, option 1 seems the more desirable of the two. Also, I agree that you could have a better chance of being admitted as a full-time degree seeking student - though, I’m not necessarily saying that will, in fact, happen. </p>

<p>However, you may want to find out whether GWU has any sort of “Guaranteed Acceptance Policy” for community college students. There seems to be quite a few universities that do that.</p>
