<p>Hi I’m from the Philippines and will be applying as an international transfer student in USA this coming fall 2013. I used to be a Fine Arts major but I was never interested in that major, my parents forced me to take it. I thought I’d survive college but eventually my second sem of College, I started dropping classes because I never really liked going in class, I asked my parents if I could shift to another major but they declined so I had to enroll the following year. The next year I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to withdraw all my classes. My parents found out so they decided to listen to me this time. So currently, I am a Political Science major, my first sem I was doing okay. I had an average of 1.9 (1.0 being the highest). This sem I was enrolled to 10 subjects but because of conflict of schedule I had to withdraw the 2 subjects because my parents wanted me to work and manage our business, my family always gets in the way. I’m sure my transcript looks crazy already. I’m sure I’m doing well in my classes, I participate in class a lot. My professors think I’m an asset to the school, I asked a few people to rate my essay too and they said it’s excellent, I participate in community services too, I have a lot of extracurricular activities, it’s just that my transcript is not appealing to the eyes. Not even a bit.
I really want to get admitted to a great school but my transcript limits me from doing so. I’m even willing to be on probation and prove to them what I can do. I know my abilities but obviously they wont let me. What should I do? :(</p>
<p>Your parents are forcing you to take… arts courses? That’s strange, because arts majors make no money. At least there would be some logic behind their motives if they forced you to take math/sciences.</p>
<p>It was BFA major in Advertising. It was more on marketing and business than the arts</p>
