Just a little help

UConn would be a reach. A lot of schools require a 3.0 for transfer applicants. You might, however, have some luck with test-optional schools, since they tend to look at a lot more than just the transcript. If you can do an interview, write great essays, and get outstanding recommendation letters that address why your GPA will probably be better when you transfer, that could be a real possibility. I definitely wouldn’t give up hope. Especially since your poor grades are from your first semester, which is always a difficult transition time for people, especially if they’re in a place that’s not necessarily the best fit, which is what the case appears to be with you.
