Well, I knew that things would be bad but not this bad. The only two courses that I took and completed were ENGR112 ( dropped then got B- next semester) and ENGL111 ( F then A next semester).

The other courses were preparatory courses for calculus and physics and they do not count toward my GPA and credit hours.

So, A, F, B-. I will take chemistry this semester and calculus I the next semester. As for why I am taking precalculus again, there were some changes in the syllabus of high school mathematics and the university decided that I need precalc to prepare for calc I, despite taking it during high school.

It looks like my undergraduate studies are ruined. The only university that didn’t ask for a lot of prerequisites and certain credit hours was northeastern university.

I mean northwestern’s admission rate is 13% and I posted this on the wrong board as I confused the two universities.

As for SAT, no, but I registered for SAT on the 5th of October and subject test in November. I am self-studying the SAT and my main weakness is reading and writing, but I am preparing for the exam by reading SAT books.

Should I get my bachelors here and start research during the following years to prepare for graduate studies? It looks like my chances of transferring are slim.

Edit: I need 4 more A grades to raise my GPA to 3.23, if I counted that F. I will take chemistry, ENGR111, ENGL112 and calculus I.
Yeah right.
