I will be more than thankful if you spend these 5 minutes to help me out. I will try to tell the story in the shortest.
Once I applied to NYU and I was rejected. I had pretty bad scores and the application to that school was just pointless; I really did not know how does it all work, I did not know how the application process looked like in the United States because I am an international student. I took a gap year, did a lot of great things and applied to a variety of different schools where I got in and I decided to attend one of them, which the name I prefer not to say because of what I am gonna tell you next.
My school is very specific; it is a college, but it is a college that cares only about money and there is no a student that is happy here. They do not let us transfer and teachers agree that they had been specificallt requested to fuck some students up. They have rules that they often break, also promises that they do not keep. I once was very sick and I was in hopsital, I had a document about it THAT I HAD A REAL HEART ATTACK and they did not let me do my midterm exam, while half a year later the same person who laughted at my face that I can not do anything in that situation, said “why didn’t you come to me?”. I swear, there are ridiculous things happening at my college and all the opinions about it in the internet is “scam, fraud, what is it?”. I talked to many people in this school about it and and nobody is really sure why we ended up there. They offered us beautiful scholarships that later on were taken away. I want to transfer so bad from there and what I am saying is not a lie. I need help.
I ended up having really low GPA of 2.8/4 and I had a plan to transfer to Yale or NYU, or USC. (NYU or USC for most) but I really do not know what to do now. Our final exams, which scores we never see or anything, are of 60% of final grade. I know that you will probably say that it is all my fault but I know what is happening and I do not know what to do. I want to transfer but visibly, the current college perfectly destroyed my plan of transferring to my dream schools. I have an excellent extracurriculars. I speak few languages. What should I do at this point to have a chance to transfer to a good school?
I am staying in this college for one more year to get a 4.0 GPA (I have a grip how to do it) and then I will transfer. I will take ACT again and so. But will this thing recompensate my first year misery? My “specific situation” is that I cannot tell it to anyone else (admissions) because it is easy to put blame to everybody else but not oneself. But I swear to God, I sat and thought about it, did research and asked others, there is a real problem with my school. People do not want to argue with them, they just want to transfer as soon as possible, so do I. But what can I do having such bad GPA? Is there anything that I can work on to recompensate this thing? I wanna go to NYU, or USC or transfer to some Ivy. Please help me. Put me down to earth or anything, I really need an objective advice.
I apologize if I sound panicked, it’s just the helplesness at this point…
