Confused about college

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi, I’m new to college confidential, and I would like to thank everyone in advance for answering my questions.</p>

<p>To make a long story short, I’ve been attending community college for 4 years. I most likely have to attend a 5th year before I transfer. The reason I’ve been at a community college for so long is due to my medical conditions, which forced me to pull out of school a few times (my medical condition is life threatening). I am a double major in computer science, and business. My gpa stands at 3.8, I was wondering how much this would affect my chances of transferring,and getting a job in the near future. I also would like to know which types of financial aid I can qualify for since I’m going to be 24 when I transfer.</p>

<p>Your gpa is very good, how much it will affect your chances of transferring depends on the schools you’re applying to, which could range from automatic admissions to an in-state public via an articulation agreement to relatively low odds at a highly selective college.</p>

<p>You will be considered an independent student since you are 24, how much FA and what kind depends on your income, assets, etc. Please ask this question on the FA & Scholarships forum as there are knowledgeable members there; and give more details for them to be able to help you.</p>
