Transfer and I need Help

College Search & Selection

<p>Ok this is a very long story but i'm going to make it short I got accepted to a university not of my choice but i decided to go there anyway because I thought it was better than staying at home and I thought I would come to love it. It wasn't a bad school but it wasn't a school that I wanted to be in.The college atmosphere didn't agree with me. The work was not hard yet I found myself not attempting to do the work and having to deal with trouble from home that I soon found myself on academic probation. Realizing this I tried to change it around for the second semester but I found the stress of dealing with academic probation and trying to deal with stress from home took a toll on me. Finals week passed by and the grades that I got were not enough to pull my G.P.A up so now I found myself academic dismissed from the school. My GPA was a 1.5. I have never really had a to deal with something along these lines and I'm not blaming anybody but myself because I brought it upon myself. but what I want to know is that is there a possibility of transferring into a women's college and getting accepted. I plan on going into greater detail in the common app essay. but I am willing to start over to get back on trace. My SAT's score are not bad at all they actually meet with most of the college's requirements but I am trying to determine where I would stand in the application pool </p>

<p>I have thought about a community college and I have considered its benefits however I know that if I were to stay in my town I would never leave it.</p>

<p>I hope you guys can really help me out and help me weigh my decisions</p>

<p>Well from your situation it doesn’t look too promising I think your best bet is to go to a community college it’s not as bad ad it sounds but I highly doubt that a college would accept you with that G.P.A unless it’s some extraordinary circumstance which I don’t know if that’s what happened but yea I don’t see anything promising if you were to apply to a college right after…</p>

<p>I mean I think this would be a great time for you to take a step back and reevaluate what you want to do and what went wrong and how you can prevent it in the future</p>

<p>thanks yea I never really expected this to happen and I am angry at myself for what I allowed to happen but I am kind of opening my mind to the community college but I was thinking of transferring after a semester or two and then go to another college I don’t think I can handle two years there but thanks </p>

<p>anyone have any other suggestions</p>

<p>Go to community college, get a 4.0, and then try to transfer. I can’t fathom any women’s college accepting you with your current 1.5. Also, a strong student would make the best of any situation, so , unless you were the victim of a crime or tragedy, I can’t picture a situation where just giving up on academics would be understood.</p>
