    Default College. :( Helpppp.

    I know this is my fault, and shouldn't try to put the blame on anyone else. So I'm taking responsiblity that I fucked up this semsester.

    But...

    I wanna transfer to the school in San Antonio......

    I hated it here, as I've whined multiple times about, and as a result (though its still my fault) I totally fucked up this semseter and it ruined my GPA....

    Now that I want to transfer to somewhere I DONT hate, I wish I could just start over but....naturally...that's not really an option, right?

    Well...

    My GPA isn't high enough to meet the transfer student requirements....

    And now I don't know what to do. I feel so ashamed that I messed up, especially because I LOVE school. I want to be a teacher for pete's sake, because I love school so much, and I usually do REALLY well, but....alas, I didn't.

    I'm so stressed out because I don't know what to do.

    Does anybody have any ideas???

    I guess I COULD go to a community college in SA in order to get my grades up and then transfer....but I really REALLY want to go to the university there.....

    I guess I brought this on myself. Just thought I'd see if anyone else knew of anything I could do.

    Is there any way you can take summer classes where you're at now (even though you hate it) to lift your GPA and then transfer for fall or something?

    As much as it might suck, are you able to stay put and boost your grades... THEN move?

    If you're just now applying, the grades you made this semester shouldn't be considered in your gpa, because they havn't been sent out yet. Hurry up and apply before the grades come out.

    Also, TXState in San Marcos is hugely focused on people that want to become teachers. Their admissions deadline is July 1. They are very close to San Antonio (maybe 30 min). I will be going here in the fall.

    No staying put. I hate it here and would just fuck up summer classes too because it drives me crazy to be here. I hate the town I hate the school and I have no friends.......so I just wanna sit in my room and cry here instead of bucking up.

    Meh. Some of the community colleges are really cheap around there and transfer to the university, so I guess I could get some of the basics done for cheaper.

    You might be able to explain to admissions that blah blah blah and it affected your grades this past semester and ask them to only consider your gpa before this semester started. It's worth a shot. The required GPA isn't always written in blood...

    EDIT: I'm a fan of jr colleges, anyways. I transferred myself and saved thousands. Plus, it's easier to get in when you're transfering from a jr college (like, because you're less likely to drop out than a freshman straight from highschool).
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    That's really your best bet, I think.

    Could you take online classes to lift your GPA? Or like you said, do some classes at a community college. You're gonna have to suffer for a semester either way to boost your GPA in order to get to the school you wanna be in.

    Okay, I looked up some Community Colleges and I found some that are close to the apartment-area I was looking at, and MUCH cheaper....so I guess it wouldn't hurt to finish out my basics and save a few grand and raise my gpa.

    That's what I did pooka...my GPA wasn't that bad, but I just couldn't afford the uni after my first year *before stripping*. I'm getting an associates at the community college here, then transferring back. The cash I saved is gonna enable me to pay my tuition in cash for my last couple of years. Good luck

    Keep your gpa up if you go the community college route. They actually let you transfer in with a lower gpa if you're under a certain amount of transferable credit hours. But, if you can keep ypur gpa up, and then transfer, you will save $$$$$

    Stay in school with the community college way. That way youll stay sharp and wont feel the need to slack off because you might enjoy it more. Its alot less pressure and you have time to try things out for a major you would be interested in.

    Think: finished with school with ALOT less debt or any at all.

    If still possible don't send them a transcript from old school. Could you make it in that way?

    i think comm college is the general consensus.. but i wonder about sending in a transcript without this past sem's grades?
    still, going and not staying sounds the best for your sanity.

    Love it!

    Is your current semester over yet? If not, then mail off the transcripts ASAP! You'll be fine

    Well, I kinda fucked up both semesters (I really hate it here, ha...), so I don't think that would work, either. But....comm college sounds like the best route for a semester. I'm just glad to be out of here, anywhere would be better. I graduated high school second in my class, and am a total nerd about school, so I know once I'm somewhere that I'm happy I will do fine and pull up my GPA easily.

    Thanks for all ya'lls help, guys.

    And, Shasta...yes, yes I WILLLLL sing.

    I'd go the community college route too. Then "forget" to tell anybody you went to the school you had bad grades at. One of my buddies had a 3.0 or so, then transfered to a different school because his GF went there. He roomed with one of our degenerate buddies and got all D's. He returned to his first school after one semester and it hurt when he transfered his transcripts from the 2nd school to the first school. Just chalk it up as a learning experience and move on. Just buckle down at the community college for a year or two and go to a 4 year University.

    Good Luck.

    They don't check that? It says on the app if you don't claim all universities you have attended and they find out they will cancel your app. and ban you from ever reapplying or some shit.

    I do not think they will or can check. There is not a National Database for Colleges. I think the chances are slim they could find that on their own. But it is a decsion you need to make for yourself.

    Yay! I am seeing a guy from San Antonio right now. He is flying me out to visit soon. I won't know anyone there. I may have a car to drive and while he is working I WANT TO HANG OUT. Sorry that was in bold. I have always wanted to spend time in the SA/ Austin area. I want to try out at least one club while I am there to. Sorry to threadjack Pooka, I am just excited, and it sounds like you are too.

    I disagree with trying to apply before the new GPA is calculated. I know with public colleges in California they require you to send your transcripts after the semester (like right before you are expected to start at their school) is done and if you get any Ds or Fs they can revoke your offer of admission. I had a friend who had this happen to him. He had to beg and plead with the school to let him in after he got a D. And "forgetting" to tell anyone that you attended a school in which you did poorly at could be a bad idea. I'm not sure how it works in Texas but in Cali the JCs are all linked under the Cal. Community College Council and you can be tracked by your social/ID number to every school you've attended. I haven't known anyone who has left out a school before but its something to think about. You might be ok if you take classes at a school that is outside of the district of your last one. I've attended 3 schools in the same district and all of my records are linked between them, if I went elsewhere I'd have to send copies of transcripts. As long as you explain that your grades slipping was a one time thing and chalk it up to a learning experience like ChgoSteve said you'll be fine.

    I'm all for going the community college route. I did. At first I thought eww thats not very prestigious but I saved a crapload of money and was able to withdraw from classes if I didn't like them without worrying about wasting money. Here the unis like people who have come from jcs and give them preferential treatment in the admissions process. I'm transfering next fall too.

    Wow you sound just like I did my freshmen year. I fucked up second semester, so I came home and went to Community College. My grades have drastically improved and I'm transfering back to the University. I've still got an F to work off though

    Cosign on the Community College route. Transfered into a four year with very little problems. Got 54 intact credits from it, and no GPA because my CC worked on a different sale than my university. Clean slate.
