Hi, this is my first post here so i’m sorry if youve read this question a million times.

Background info I’m a 20 year old female. I’m from California. I went to NYU, was really depressed there (away from home) and seasonal depression and my laziness led to having a cum GPA of 1.8 with 29 credit hours. Well now I’m home and i’m trying to transfer and I’m sad because I worked really hard in high school and now my gpa is so low and it would take about 90 credits to raise it to about a 3.5 to get into a good school. Preferred major: nutrition science, exercise science, health science, OR Sport Management OR Economics.

Anyways any advice? I’m getting really good grades (all A’s so far), when transferring will this be looked at (that i improved dramatically after first year of college)?

Schools I’m looking at:
wont get in: HIGH: UCB - NutriSci, UCSD, UCSB, UCD, USF
probably: CSUF, CSULB, UCR
def: SDSU, CSULA

any stories similar to mine… or links, advice, list of schools I should apply to etc whatever

HELLLLP ME.
