<p>OK forum, I'm new here and I was hoping anyone could offer me some advice. TL;DR at the end.</p>
<p>I know it's a long read, but I would appreciate any help I can get! Here's the gist of my current situation:</p>
<p>I was never a good student in high school. I took way harder classes than I should have (AP / honors) and got poor marks (B's, C's and D's). I don't even remember my GPA - I graduated back in '06 and I was always more concerned with music and art than academics. Mediocre SAT scores if I recall as well. I didn't study for them, I was a musician! (HA!)</p>
<p>Right out of the gate I joined City Year, a year-long ('06-'07) community service program under the Americorps umbrella serving as in-class support for middle schoolers in rough inner-city neighborhoods with the goal of building leadership skills.</p>
<p>After City Year, I enrolled as a music major ('07-'08) in the local community college, only I (again) was more concerned with pursuing my of dream going into the music business with my band then actually studying and learning the theory. I got A's and B's, for the first two semesters but ultimately realized that I didn't need a degree in music to become a rock star and switched majors to Biology, which (aside from music) was my strongest field in HS.</p>
<p>It didn't go too well because of my band heating up and my long term girlfriend dumping me with the spiraling depression that followed, and I failed my last semester and dropped out (4 semesters later - '08-'10) ending with a dismal 2.54 GPA.</p>
<p>I took a semester off (last fall) to work a job and get myself back together - during which point my band broke up - and I'm now enrolled in another CC, this time as a business major.</p>
<p>I -clearly- needed that break, and can easily expect to get a solid 4.0 this semester. Now that my music "career" is over and done with school just isn't challenging me anymore. I go 110% with anything I do, because that's what the music industry requires, and now that I can direct my 110% into school, I feel like this college is "easy mode." It's a joke.</p>
<hr>
<p>TL;DR - Sucked at school, flunked out of a CC to play in a band, have a year of volunteer community service under my belt, at a new CC now hemorrhaging 4.0's. Now I have to think about transferring... if I get 4.0's for this semester and both summer sessions, what are the chances that any sort of decent 4 year college would accept me?</p>
<p>Thanks, forum!!</p>
