Need some guidance in transfering

Transfer Students
1

<p>I ended highschool with an abysmal GPA and i am now a freshman at Umass lowell. I am currently taking 5 classes (writing, foreign policy, international relations, calc 1, micro econ 1)</p>

<p>I am trying to transfer into BU, michigan, wisconsin, or maybe trinity....should i be taking 6 classes to make my application more impressive? also, i took economics AP in highschool and got a C in the course...is it worth taking again (seems really easy)</p>

<p>Also, international relations is an intro class...should i swap it out wtih a higher level course? foreign policy is around level 400 and econ is around 200...the others are around level 150</p>

<p>Sorry to be a pain, just really confused about what i need to do to transfer.</p>

<p>From what I have heard, it’s better to take slightly less classes and make sure you will do well in them, rather than take more and not do as well.</p>

<p>if this is your first fall, you should take 12u just to see how you have a feel for it, so you know how to organise your time. 16u would be the max i’d recommend, especially since you got a C on econ in HS.</p>

<p>I agree do not take too many, take less units and do very well to boost your gpa, those are really good schools, Good luck to ya</p>
