Whats a happening

<p>I must have horrible luck with transfering, or am I do something wrong. I went to a really good private high school, competed as an elite athlete nationally....then comes colleges - I went to one of the service academies (annapolis, west point, air force - i'll let you choose) and left for physical reason. I suffered from a really bad injury in the begging of the school year of 2006-2007 school year, had surgery which made me take off last fall semester, and know I am finishing up recumperating. The injury itself took alot of me going from doctors for days at a time out of state and keeping up with the rigors of the academy and the academics also. I came out with a low GPA 2.0ish . I've applied to reasonably very easy schools and some very difficult schools. I tried to explain to admissions of my extenuating circumstances which was extremly difficult with the pain, missing classes, etc.. you get the point...All the schools seems to give me a hard time, and I even got rejected from a very easy easy school per say (it was a 4 year CC pretty much)....I have a strong application despite the set back, with strong EC's in high school, through out my first year, over coming the serious injury and maintaing A's in all my 5 classes at the Community College I go to now while I recover and have a part time job and such....I've been accepted to a top language immersion program this summer too which I've told the colleges...</p>

<p>Sorry for the long post, but am I doing something wrong? I understand why some of the more difficult schools I applied to are giving me a hard time...but being in so called "limbo" for a couple months stinks.</p>

<p>I am sorry you are going through this. After doing so well in high school, it would seem that this shouldn't be happening. Unfortunately, it is & you will have to figure out how to deal with it. I am guessing that colleges want to know for sure that you are ready to come back & give it all you've got. I don't think 5 CC classes is enough for them - plus, you haven't even completed those courses yet. My suggestion is to continue at CC for now, making sure you consult an advisor to plan your studies properly. Take courses that will not only transfer, but will also show your academic acumen. You can apply for transfer next year (or midyear, depending on the schools you like). Good luck.</p>
