<p>I was seduced by a full ride to a State school where i am taking a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science.I am a sophomore,but i am only left with three senior math courses to finish undergraduate math.My GPA is currently at 3.9/4.0.So why am i complaining?I have two Bs which i got by a)Forgetting to hand in an english essay even though i had already written it.That gave me 88.45%,a B.An A stands at 90%b)I earned a B in Digital Logic because i didnt finish the project in time for a presentation.With this ,you recognise how serendipitous events can doom the most powerful selling point of someone from a non-elite school-a high GPA.I think i now want out.Do i have any luck?</p>
<p>And you never would forget to turn in papers, and you would always finish projects on time at a “better” institution? Perhaps you need to pop over to the student counseling center and get some help with your organizational (often called Executive Function) skills.</p>
<p>A 3.9 is not going to make that big a difference compared to a 4.0. Stop panicking about this one.</p>
<p>The bigger concern is that you are running out of undergraduate math courses, and that seems to be your field of interest. Sit down with your advisor and find out which of the graduate level math courses you can take now that you are ready for them.</p>
<p>Executive function. never heard of that.Yeah,i admit am careless.The big issue is that there are no graduate courses,which is why i need to move to a place where i can get them.I have just finished Real Analysis,but there is no functional Analysis after i complete Complex Analysis next semester.</p>
<p>Since you need the grad courses, make an appointment with your advisor and find out about your options. The department may be able to put together some research/independent study programs for you, or they may be able to help you figure out how you can graduate early and head straight into the grad program that you want. If you do decide that transferring is in your best interest, your advisor and the other faculty in your department should be able to help you draw up a list of appropriate places to apply. You don’t have to do this all on your own.</p>
<p>If its about transferring,am afraid i have to do it on my own.No one wants me to leave</p>
<p>Of course no one wants you to leave! You’re probably one of the best students they’ve had in ages! But at the same time, they are fully aware that you are going to run out of classes pretty soon, and that you might need to transfer in order to pursue your specific academic interests. They aren’t ogres, they’re human. Sit down with them (if you want, you can start with the ones who seem a bit more approachable) and talk about your situation. They all have old grad professors at the places where they completed their Ph.D.s, and they all have old grad school pals who are now professors at other places. They have access to professional networks that can help you find your way into a good grad program in two more years, or transferred into a better undergrad program for next fall. Either now or in two years, they are going to be writing your LORs. Sad as they will be to see you go (if you decide that transferring is the right thing to do), they aren’t going to stand in your way.</p>
<p>Oh,ok.Let me work on it.Thank you</p>
