<p>Hi my name's Scarlett, and I'm in desperate need of some advice.
I graduated HS in '08 and was absolutely clueless as what i wanted to do with my life. As a result, I ended up at a community college (yr later) and never really made any concrete decisions regarding a career path. I am currently still taking classes at a local community college but would like to go ahead and transfer to a university. Problem is, I don't have my associates degree. Work, financial problems, and other miscellaneous factors contributed to this long tedious process of obtaining that degree. I would like to transfer to a university for fall semester but I'm afraid my discrepant past will make it nearly impossible to get into a good school. I've started doing volunteer work so it'll look good on a college app but not sure what else to do to increase my chances. I hope an open college isn't my only option.
thanks for reading</p>
<p>How many credits do you have? What is your GPA for the community college credits you have? Are you taking a full load this semester? Those seem to be the most relevant factors in transferring. I wouldn’t worry about the volunteer work. It is pretty much all about your classroom work at this point.</p>
<p>i have 28 credits and my GPA is 3.4 & im only taking 3 classes this semester.</p>
<p>You don’t always need your AA to transfer. Have you talked to an advisor at your CC to find out where you might be able to transfer with your situation?</p>
<p>No i havent talked to an advisor yet, guess i’ll have better results than w/ this website.
thanks</p>
