<p>I am 24 years old, entering my senior year in college. This past year I started working during the school year which stupidly brought my grade below a 2.0, and I was dismissed from my college... How can I transfer anywhere to bring my GPA up when no where accepts under a 2.0?</p>
<p>I went to the University of Cincinnati, but now I have just moved in with my family back in Manhattan. I would like to go to Baruch and finish what I started in Ohio, but I most certainly will not get accepted with a GPA under a 2 (embarrassing to admit its that low :( ) anyways, what shots do I have on getting my GPA up!? I looked at most of the community colleges that are associated with CUNY in hopes of eventually transferring to Baruch, but even those require good academic standing and a 2.0 at the previous college- which I have neither. I have over 100 cr hrs and just want to get started again on finishing college. </p>
<p>Anyone been in a situation like this or can anyone shed some light on what I can do next? Hopefully someone knows more than I do about these options!</p>
<p>Your first step, is to contact U of Cincinnati, and find out what you would need to do in order to be readmitted. You will need to meet their standard for “in good standing” in order to transfer almost anywhere. Then you need to follow their precise requirements so that you can either return, or if you decide to not return, you can get the letter attesting to the fact that you are in good standing. </p>
<p>Next, you need to set up formal appointments with the admissions officers at the community colleges and CUNYs that interest you. Bring your records from U of C with you. Ask if it is possible to enroll as a non-degree or visiting student for one or two classes. If that is possible, ask how many classes you would need to complete in non-degree status, and with what kind of grades, before it would be possible to apply for admission as a degree candidate. Be serious about your goals for your future, and be prepared to explain exactly how you have changed your life so that your schoolwork is your number one priority. No one is going to want to admit you even for a one credit class as a non-degree student if they don’t think that you are committed to doing well in that class.</p>
