<p>Hey,</p>
<p>So lately I have been stressing out since the beginning of the Fall semester here at UTSA. I'm an undergraduate freshman at UTSA, I wasn't offered CAP because I applied too late for UT. My grades fluctuated from excellent to poor throughout high school because of my father's illness and death during my junior year. I know i shouldn't use that as an excuse, but when it happens to you, it's hard not to.
In college, I've decided to push myself the hardest i've ever gone in hopes of making it to UT Austin. It was my dads final wish for me to go study film at UT, and i feel that if i don't make it then i will be letting him down. I did a good amount of research into scheduling my classes before the fall semester at UTSA, such as making sure each of the classes I'm taking is transferable and counted towards the core curriculum at UT Austin. I've also decided to become active in the Austin film community by volunteering myself for several "film" events.
I have no problem with staying at UTSA one or two years in order to make it to Austin. It's my dream school for many reasons! When i do transfer though, I plan to transfer into Radio-Television-Film.
Im posting here because my friends are too nice... Whenever i recite this story to them its always "Youll make it!", "No problem", or "Its easy". I know they are just trying to be comforting, but i really want someone to "kick it to me real". Feel free to suggest anything (i.e. courses, transferring in method, any advice).</p>
<p>I really want to know what my chances are and what i need to do to accomplish this dream?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
