What should I do, where should I go? Please Help me out...

Transfer Students

<p>My first semester of college I was really brought down and lost my inspiration. I went to Loyola University Maryland, but I never really liked it there. I'm a Maryland resident that ended up having to go to Loyola because it was the only affordable college for me. I got accepted to other school like The University of Delaware, but I just couldn't afford it. I'm an Electrical Engineer major looking to possibly transfer. Being a Maryland resident and Hispanic what would be my chances now? Should I wait? </p>

<p>Schools I really want to attend, UMD being my dream school
1)University of Maryland - College Park
2)Drexel
3)George Washington University </p>

<p>After first semester this was the out come... 18 credits earned and 4 other credits from Ap credit (Calculus 1 credit) GPA: 2.869 As a freshman I was not completely prepared. I faced both my calc 2 and physics finals on the same day, and ended up pulling an all niter. Before my final I had a A- in calculus 2.... And I think my physics teacher was the worst teacher experience I have ever had in my life, but I'm ready to take on the same teacher again next semester in physics 2..</p>

<p>Bump… any input on whether or not I should wait to transfer, or if there’s a chance for me at any of the colleges I want to attend?</p>

<p>To be honest you might still have a chance of transferring to all the colleges you listed except GWU. I am almost certain that you can get into drexel with no problem. Even though your GPA is low, the classes you took were tough. Do the best you can this upcoming semester and I think you will be ok. If you don’t get in, I would spend a few more semesters, do well in those because colleges love seeing an upward trend.</p>

<p>good luck.</p>

Writing (cr.3)</p>

<p>1.)First would it be smart to state that you received a 2 on a AP test? Since a 2 is not passing should I just leave that out? (I know most people will say no…)</p>

<p>2.) What would be my chances of getting into UMBC?</p>

<p>3.) How about my chances of UMD college park ?</p>
