Worried about first semester grades

Transfer Students
1

<p>Okay, so I don't have my first semester grades yet, but I don't think I did that well. I took classes in stuff that seemed practical and intelligent (poli sci etc), but I really wasn't good at it and it made me really unhappy. I realized this was dumb and completely overhauled my second semester classes so I do anticipate doing better next semester. </p>

<p>My thing is, I absolutely hate my school (I go to McGill University). I've been miserable since about a month after I got here. I won't go into all the details, but the thought of spending more time here is...just not to be considered. </p>

<p>My question is, when I'm applying to transfer, will colleges deny me if my first semester grades aren't that great? I have apps due Feb1, and April1. Some of the colleges I'm applying to as transfer are schools I got into last year but didn't go to, I'm worried they'll deny me now. (I'm looking to apply to places like Fordham, Brooklyn College, and a few others.)</p>

<p>I don’t fit in with the over the top hipster culture or the insane party culture, I feel the school doesn’t care about its students (perhaps heightened this semester by the riot police pepper spraying students, a strike that made it difficult for me to get medical care so I ended up in the ER, a professor for a class that met 5 days a week that didn’t come to class once ever, TAs not responding to emails and not being in office hours, etc), it also doesn’t have a great program for the majors I’m considering switching to. Some other ****'s happened. It’s just been a bad experience.</p>
