What would you do in my situation?

Transfer Students

<p>Back story - Went into college (UNC Chapel Hill) with high gpa, high SAT (2360), lots of high placing finishes in competitive extracurriculars on the state-regional level, and something like 45 hours from APs (all 5s). </p>

<p>Things looked great, but then some demons from the past finally caught up to me and I was pretty much incapable of doing much through college, as I was in the midst of a pretty horrible depression, which campus health was not useful in dealing with.</p>

<p>Didn't finish my degree even though I was granted a 9th semester as I will still in it at that time, and overall my GPA dropped to a 2.4. I'm told by academic advising I can apply for another semester to finish (haven't been at UNC for nearly a year and a half) my comp sci degree, and that generally they would grant such petitions (no guarantees though). UNC already rejected my appeal for semester drops, so there is no sort of academic forgiveness possible. Thus, even if I get all A's in my last semester, which I'm confident in doing, my GPA is still in the ****ter.</p>

<p>Not sure what the possibility/worthiness of transferring is either, as all the schools I looked at wouldn't even take a transfer with a 2.4 GPA, not to mention the large number of credit hours I have.</p>

<p>I kinda feel like an odd case, hell even advising at my college didn't know what to do with me. </p>

<p>What would you do in my situation?</p>

<p>Apply & finish. In 5 years no one will care what your GPA is. But they will care if you have a degree. GL and stay away from whatever haunts you.</p>

<p>Exactly- you shouldn’t be so concerned with GPA. Some employers won’t even ask for it. Finish your degree at UNC.</p>

<p>Hmm, I see. I’m def gonna get back in touch with profs I did projects with in the interim (assuming my extra semester is granted) and get some projects done right.</p>
