In order to find out why you were rejected and what you could do - one option is to ask your hs GC to speak to the college's admissions office to get some insight; another option is to call the admissions office yourself - many have transfer admissions officers, most are very nice; tell them that you would really like to go there and ask what would improve your application.</p>
<p>From reading your other thread, I think those SAT's could be a factor. Have you tried the xiggi method? I would recommend you try that. Your motivation is clearly strong; so if you turn it to prepping for the SAT via the xiggi (or any method you like), that might make a real difference.

<p>I'm wondering what I should do. YES I want to know why I was rejected to help make my transfer application the strongest it can be at the end of this year (meaning freshman year). But on the other hand, I think it's a little too early to contact the transfer admissions guy.</p>
<p>Don't misunderstand me, I am happy with were I ended up (at my local cc) but it's not where I want to stay.</p>
<p>And I just want to make sure I'm doing EVERYTHING to make my application the best it can be.</p>
<p>Wabash - Yes, there is some "cart before the horse" working here. In my opinion, it's too early yet for you to visit with the transfer admissions person at the college you want to attend (especially if it is a school where you were rejected as a freshman applicant). I believe an excellent time to visit with the transfer admissions person would be after you have a stellar first semester (both academic and extra-curricular) in community college. Then (Christmas break?) you will have a track record to impress your intended college with along with your seeking his/her transfer admissions advice. At this point if you saw a transfer admissions person, you could be coming across as "desperate" if it is a college that you were rejected as a freshman applicant.</p>
<p>Beyond your intended college's website regarding transfer admissions, seek the advice of the community college staff since much of their business is transferring bright students like yourself to four year colleges/universities.</p>
<p>ok, I feel better now. (I had a "blow out" with my mothr last night) I asked if we had filled the FAFSA and it turned into a debate about why I was asking, etc. But that's over and done with.</p>
<p>We did a guided toir last year, when I go back, I want to just "look around myself a bit.</p>
