<p>I've really run out of solution- I've attempted to speak with a few colleges- though they offer little help.</p>
<p>I am 25 and have recently re-enrolled into a continuing ed program after working for a few years after high school. </p>
<p>To cut to the point: </p>
<p>I have attempted probably 48 course credits in the past 2 years and passed only 27 of them. My GPA is somewhere around a 1.2 (terrible!) The college I was enrolled in has dismissed me and to enter their program again I must wait 2 years (according to advisors). </p>
<p>I'm sick of going to school but I really want a degree. So- fed up with this I've been trying to find the best option to obtain a degree before I'm in my 30s. </p>
<p>I've noticed most transfer programs allow transfers of around 30 credits as long as the grade is of C or better. (which all but 1 of mine are) However, I have a whole mess of Fs on the transcript. </p>
<p>I'd love any advice anyone has- preferably positive.</p>
<p>Iono what state you are in, but you can try the state school. Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach are plausible. You can also try going to a trade school, such as Devry. People say bad stuff about Devry, but it's a pretty good school. Kinda expensive tho.</p>
<p>If I were you I'd go to a whole new community college, start from scratch, never mention anywhere about going to your previous school, and then transfer.</p>
<p>yeah lol, the worst that will happen is you lose your spot in the school that you wouldn't have gained admissions to... There are some schools that might take you in though. I know here in michigan, most of the colleges are not competitive at all unless you are applying to UMich or MSU, other than that most schools are easy acceptances.. im sure your state will have something like that too. If you are serious about going to school apply to in-state public universities and at least one will take you in.</p>
<p>you're likely looking at a universal rejection, so your best bet is likely vocational school. degrees are to be earned, and aren't granted simply for attendance. learn a trade.</p>
<p>Besides the risk of starting over, at least from the information you have given, there really has not been a point of turnaround. Chances are that unless you fix whatever it is that is causing these grades, the same pattern would just happen again at a different school. Have you spent some time and thought about what would change when you move on to a new school, regardless of the circumstances? </p>
<p>Since you only have about a year of credits that you passed, the community college option is still viable even if you don't risk it to start clean. There is a chance at least that if you pull off a decent year there you will have more options. I know some schools in my state, public and private, will take students that are in good standing with their last school or if they have their associate degree completed. </p>
<p>I would figure out if any schools you might be interested in attending would take you if you could pull off a good year at a comm college. It would save yourself some time over starting over plus eliminate the riskiness.</p>
<p>The reason it would be a risk to start over is because if he gets admitted and they catch him he'll get thrown out and he will just have wasted a year or two taking classes over.</p>
