<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Well, as the title says, I am planning on transfering from Temple to Lehigh for the Fall 2006 semester. I have a few questions/concerns that I'm kinda hoping you guys could answer or address.</p>
<p>I entered Temple as a freshman this past fall (2005) as a Biology/Pre-Med major. No sooner did I get to my first Chemistry exam did I realize that Bio was not for me. Along with that, there were several things going on in my life that sidetracked me from concentrating on my work and although I believe I will pass all my classes, I do not believe that my cumulative GPA will be anywhere north of the 2.5-2.7 range. The first month into college, my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years dumped me and, although it may sound minute, the break-up sidelined me for awhile. I was in and am currently in therapy and I became terribly home-sick and didn't want to do anything but just go home. I stopped going to most of my classes began giving up due to some of the things going on. I was not getting along well with my roomate (he's a big druggie) and I believe that too had a lot to do with my lack of success. Needless to say, I was not in a very productive environment the first semester. However, all my life I have been a history buff and have since began to ponder the thought of becoming a history teacher. I really enjoy history and in fact, next semester I am taking a couple history courses and a more liberal arts curriculum. I was an average student in HS with a 3.3 GPA and a 1200 SAT and a few EC's. I applied ED to Lehigh last year and got rejected so decided to go to a good school (Temple) and pull off some sick grades in hopes that I might have a shot at Lehigh Fall 2006. I am absolutely in love with that school and it is still my dream to go there. What do you think my chances are if I pull of at least a 3.5 GPA in the spring and then apply to Lehigh as a history major? Any input would be greatly appreciated. THanks!!</p>
