I’m thinking of taking an extra year. It’ll raise my GPA, i’m considering changing my major from Psychology to Sociology since it’s more what I want to do with my career in the long run and focus my studies on. I also had a terrible start at my CC (I blindly followed a bad education plan that a counselor had written for me and I didn’t realize for a year that I needed to write it myself and include a bunch of prereqs that I never took and should have earlier on, also took a really stupid “experimental” math class that the Peralta district made up that didn’t prepare me for enough Algebra and now I need to take Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra).
I hear about others doing this all the time, it’s not unusual. Sometimes people want to major in something different and they didn’t realize till they were 2 semesters away from transferring. I’d rather wait another year, be better prepared in math, and switch to a major that I actually want to focus on instead of see what schools I get into with such a low GPA in a major that i’m not that thrilled about.
