UT cockrell internal transfer? Help!?!! Stressed

<p>Okay, So I am in the school of undergrad and I wanna transfer into Cockrell. I'm really stressed out, because it seems like I'll never get there for various reasons... one I haven't taken calculus because I was out of school for a year after HS. So I need to get back in shape with math. I dropped it last semester and I am going to try and take pre-cal next semester, but I can only do that if I'm in CNS... and to transfer to CNS I need to have 24 credit hours, which I don't have... and won't have til' next semester... so I can't take anything for my major yet, but I guess blow off classes. My in-residence gpa is a 3.0 for the first semester and this semester isn't looking to good. :( sooo it might drop down to a 2.8 gpa :/ and then Next semester I have to start taking things like pre-cal and Chemistry! To raise my Gpa to a cut-off level of 3.4 or something would require a lot of work... like maintaining a 4.0 for a couple of MORE SEMESTERS!!!!! This just seems like a waste of Time and Money to me. All just to see if I get admitted to Cockrell. And no one here talks about their experience in getting in, all I see is people posting the Stats to how many people got in before through an internal transfer... I've seen that about a trillion times! Anyone wanna help me what they think??! Being an Engineer has been my dream since I got out of high school. I don't wanna do anything else in ANY other school. The only reason I left school for a year was to receive the 3,000 early grad scholarship... which I wasn't even able to receive, because of other BS. LOL :( YES MY LIFE IS KICKING MY BUTT RIGHT NOW.</p>
