<p>I enrolled in UC’s engineering college (Cincinnati) in 2007 with scholarship and enough AP credits to be a year ahead of my peers in every subject. I did fine for the first two years, but eventually girlfriends, drugs, video games, and performing with local bands became too much to manage in addition to my classes. I didn’t show up for a whole year and as an obvious consequence my GPA is now somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.8.</p>
<p>After spending an unfulfilling year in the working world, I’d like to give college another shot in a major I believe I will find to be more engaging. I assumed I would have to start over as a freshman at the local public university, NKU, but I’ve been told that I HAVE to apply as a transfer student because I’ve attended UC and they don’t accept transfers unless you have >2.0 and are eligible to return to your previous Uni. I’m not even sure if I’m eligible for return to UC, as I pretty much just left without talking to anyone. I know I got kicked out of the engineering college, but I don’t know about the Uni as a whole.</p>
<p>Am I going to have to attend a CC temporarily or something? I’m in need of some real advice so no ■■■■■■■■/flaming please, I know of better forums for that.</p>
