transfer after freshman year

I am going to attend Bryant University in the Fall of my Freshman Year. I got around a 3.2 or 3.3 in hs and i had poor sats in my junior and senior year. I got a 1580/2400. The reason why was that i had medical problems. But in my senior year i worked my ass off and got overall gpas of 90 and above. I found what was my strong suit in my senior year. The problem was that i took to many classes in hs like 7-9 classes that were hard and i thought maybe the colleges would like that. Truth is that they didn't. I got into my fourth choice Bryant as you know. That was the only school that i got accepted at that i liked. The problem however was that the fees are expensive i got no financial aid from bryant. So the cost per semester is comin around 20 grand each semester. I plan on doing my best in college. I want to get above a 3.5 and aim for a perfect 4.0. In order to do that i dropped 1 class making a total of 5 classes at bryant. They were making me choose 6 but i dropped 1 and chose 5. The classes are intoduction to business, mathematics of fianance, introduction to liberal arts, Foundations for learning( college introduction class), microeconomics class. This comes to a total of 15 credits. I plan on doing my best asking teachers for help since the school is small and getting help by the aids that they offer if i ever need help. and i am out of state

if you aren't going to get any financial aid from Bryant, I highly doubt that you would get any from Clemson either, usually private schools are more generous than public schools and Clemson is not especially known for good financial aid packages.

Anyways, if you think you would like to transfer, here's some info on what you would need to do to transfer into Clemson: Admission Requirements : Clemson University

no idea, they do say that they prefer a 3.0 GPA but if you get a 3.3-3.5, that's even better

I won't say "sure bet" but you have a very good chance of getting in with a 3.5
