You can transfer to a different school, but accept that it will be less competitive than NYU. Depending upon the school, a lot of your credits may transfer – it depends upon what your major was and will be, and what your grade in the class was, etc. Each school is different. You won’t lose 64 credits.

You need to ask yourself why you bombed every class. Was it just too difficult? Were you partying? Were you depressed? Were you working so many hours trying to pay for NYU that you couldn’t stay awake in class? If the underlying problems aren’t fixed, you’ll have the same issues at another school, and worse debt.

If you need or want to raise your GPA, keep working and take some community college classes. Any college you apply to will understand financial issues as long as you’re working to improve your situation.
