Transfer advice?

<p>I have recently applied to UIC as a MechSe. I am currently in general studies (Undeclared) at U of I. I need some advice if I should stay another year or just goto UIC if accepted because my GPA (2.46 currently at the time of writing this, 3.00 at the end of this semester) is extremely low for any engineering at U of I.</p>

<p>My reasoning is that if I can get a spot at UIC, I should not waste time at U of I.</p>

<p>Please reply with opinions</p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>PS: If I do end up transfering, how do I tell my current uni that I am attending another school next year.</p>
