Welcome to college 
Freshman year is certainly difficult for many who were used to the structured environment in HS. It will take some time to adjust but you’ll get there eventually if you take some time to figure out what exactly you need to do to succeed.</p>
<p>To give you an idea of JHU’s competitive app pool see this thread: <a href=“Johns Hopkins University Fall 2014 Transfer Thread - Johns Hopkins University - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/johns-hopkins-university/1636315-johns-hopkins-university-fall-2014-transfer-thread.html</a></p>
<p>I’m not sure what your chances are to UDub or UCD because I’m not familiar with their transfer process. Since they are publics, see if there are articulation agreements available for prospective transfer students. My further suggestion would be to look for threads like the JHU one above for UDub and UCD to see what type of applicants are applying. </p>
<p>Finally, since both are public schools, and assuming you are OOS for one of them, make sure they’re affordable for you (little to no FA is offered if you’re an OOS transfer applicant). Acceptances won’t mean much if can’t attend so make sure they’re affordable first.</p>
