Transferred to a new school but transferring back to previous school.

Transfer Students

Hello everyone.
So my freshman and beginning of sophomore year, I was a nursing major. Science was not my thing so my science courses and some other classes dragged my GPA down so bad. Those 3 semesters, I wanted high grades but I was just focusing on passing so I could get into nursing school. My school has this connection of partnership with Baylor Nursing School which means that Baylor is required to hold a certain amount of spots for students at my university. So all I was focused on was passing so I could have a spot because for the most part it is fairly easy. But now, I switched majors and it is biting me in the butt. I regret so much for the low effort I put in my first two years. Fall of junior year I did good, but now this past spring, I transferred to the University of Houston and I completed screwed myself over, I should have never left my old school. At UH, I registered for 15 hours. I dropped 1 and failed 2 of them, the other two class I got an A in both. My adjustment to a new school so late in my college career was hard for me and it costed me a whole semester. So now I am returning to my previous school because I’ve realized the mistake I have made of leaving in the first place. SO my real question is, should I even bother giving my school the transcript from UH? Courses with a D or lower don’t transfer over, but does that affect my GPA if the class doesn’t count? But If I do give them my transcript, my GPA will for sure drop faster than the speed of light, but if I don’t that means I wasted a whole semester and $5,000, and it’ll look like I didn’t even attend school for one semester. But then again whether I give them my transcript or not, I still basically wasted a whole semester. I NEED to improve my GPA for law school and this semester will kill all those chances. I don’t know what to do and I am afraid it might be too late to fix anything.

Any advice helps, thank you.

Law school? If so, it counts all grades from all courses taken. What is your cumulative GPA? That, plus LSAT/GRE is all that matters for law school.

You are obligated to give both the place you are returning to, and every law school you apply to, an offical copy of your UH transcript. Period.

Whether your old/new college gives you credit for either of the two courses that you did pass is up to them. All you can do now is buckle down and focus on your non-nursing major and improving your grades. When you get to class in the fall, schecule some time with the career center to learn about good options to pursue if law school doesn’t work out.
