<p>Hello.
I have a couple questions, as I've found myself in a particularly difficult conundrum.</p>
<p>I recently moved out to Boulder, Colorado from Florida to attend the University of Colorado at Boulder. I am already registered, etc., but my classes don't start until Monday. I plan to double major in Film and English. I know I have only been here a few days, but I definitely do not like it. The film program leaves a lot to be desired and I simply chose this school for all the wrong reasons...</p>
<p>I've read on here, multiple times, that its smarter to apply to NYU Tish as a freshman, instead of a transfer. If I deferred my admission to CU-Boulder now, would I still be able to apply as a freshman?
If possible, I would defer my admission and find employment in order to build my resume. And then, I would apply for the Fall 2010 admission. I already have my portfolio complete, I just need to raise my ACT score immensely. My grades in high school weren't necessarily top notch, but I lived an incredibly advanced childhood, and I did the best I could. My moms been in jail for about 12 years, my dads permanently paraplegic, and I was raised by my great grandmother who passed away when I was sixteen, so I moved out, got a job, got pregnant, gave the baby up for adoption, etc....</p>
<p>Or, should I just stay at this University for the year, get straight A's, keep taking my ACT's, and then transfer? </p>
<p>I know I probably haven't provided enough information, but please feel free to ask anything you might need to.
Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>-Sorry for the story book thread.</p>
