<p>So I really messed up freshmen year at Boston University. I have an over all gpa of 1.96 and was on academic probation. I took a calc class during freshmen summer and got a B+ so now I have a 2.16, if i do very well this fall semester and get a 2.8 is there a chance that any other half way decent college will take me? I have dont a lot of EC's/ jobs at BU, literacy tutor for a year, Pair fundraiser for Grassroots INC, worked for BOSMUN ( BU's model UN), and will now be a publications assitant in the BU College of Communications. My hs gpa was a 3.43 and SAT score was 1880. I can probably get somee nice recommendations. I just cant stay at BU any longer, I just do not have the money, i am $40,000 in debt just for 2 years, my parents are no longer financially supportive, working 2 jobs while being a full time student killed my GPA, i hope some school will understand. So PLEASE PLEASE recommend schools that you think would be worth applying to and tell me if you think i even have a shot as a transfer. Schools I would like are, Carnegie Mellon, University of Pittsburg, or any decent small liberal arts college in the Northeast. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!</p>
<p>I do not see how transferring to Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh or a small liberal arts college is going to solve your problem since I doubt they will cost any less than BU, although living expenses might be a little lower in Pittsburgh than in Boston. Why are you not considering a state school where you could pay in-state tuition?</p>
