Hi! I am a undergraduate student at Florida Gulf Coast U(sophomore 2019-2020) and a biology major. I am contemplating on the idea of transferring my last 2 years to NYU, Columbia or Barnard after taking this year to boost my GPA which at the moment is a 3.16 (3.6 first semester and 2.86 second). I have always dreamed of going to school in the city being that I am from the area and am quite familiar but my parents took my college experience and influenced me to have more “fun” in a sense then ultimately focus on school which I know they care about too. I have always had a hard time in school because of the people around me and the fact that I try to fit in places I really do not belong. I love the university I am at, but with the dream I am trying to achieve, the distractions are high. Another issue I have is the people around me are not caring for their studies to the extent that I would like to be caring for my own. I know that the way I care for my studies is more important than those around me, but simultaneously it is a bit difficult when you cannot find tutoring help or when the help you’re receiving is in accordance to a larger study group. The academic competitiveness is just not there for me and I am wondering what a school with a higher caliber of education and competition between students could provide me. Thoughts?
