Unique College Career

<p>I just want to hear some feedback and suggestions. Anything will be appreciated.</p>

<p>I am a military veteran and have a very success professional career in my field. I scored a 3.79 GPA at a local CC and transferred to Columbia University. I have 3+ GPA at Columbia, but after this semester I fear it will be below. I am looking to transfer to another four year university. Has anyone with a subpar GPA from an Ivy transferred to another tier 1 university? I am also considering a return to my local CC next semester.</p>

<p>Thank you for your time.</p>

<p>Is Columbia asking you to leave based on your GPA? Are you losing a scholarship because of the drop in your GPA? Do you just hate your classes/major/whatever? Have you decided that Columbia is just plain the wrong place for you to be? Are your grades so bad that they never will recover?</p>

<p>Why can't you just stay put, and pull your grades up?</p>

<p>If you don't need any particular GPA to continue in your professional field, as long as you maintain grades that will let you graduate from Columbia, I would say just stop worrying about this. 30 years out of college, no one cares that my Famous-Name-LAC transcript shows a final GPA of 2.7. All that matters is the Famous-Name on my resume.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>

<p>I am leaving voluntarily because of finances. My finance aid is paltry already and may drop after this academic year.</p>

<p>If you have not already done so, talk to the financial aid office and plead your case for more money.</p>

<p>wayward_trojan,</p>

<p>I have pleaded my case numerous times and it has fallen on deaf ears. Honestly, I should not have to "beg" for financial aid when Columbia College students receive need based aid easily.</p>
