Statswise, I have a 3.1 GPA, but that is mostly due to 2 classes in which i got a C+ and D+ in respectively, but other than that, my other classes were all A's or B+'s. So, I don't think I am very competitive. I am really looking for schools in the midwest, because most of my credits (i currently have about 42 (due to APs)) don't usually transfer into schools outside the Midwest (or so i've learned). I am also taking summer classes, so i am actually second semester sophomore (credits-wise)
The problem, though, i have especially is the fact that i am not from a low income family, so I am not considered "need-based" according to the financial aid offices/FAFSA. The problem is that my family can support me, but they are choosing to do the most minimum amount possible. That was the main reason i could not go to another school in the first place.
You've really missed the boat on the better schools for fall, so I'd stay put and just grind out another semester as best you can.
I was planning on applying for the winter/spring semesters anyway so i can save up some money. But thanks, i will check out Northwestern.
please define "uncooperative professors"? how were they uncooperative?
Maybe i used the wrong adjective. The problem was that the professors were hardly available for me, especially for the classes which i had bad grades for. For example, my professor's office hours conflicted with another class, and i would have to make appointments, but even then it would be difficult because they were slow to reply, and the fact that i was a commuter (driving 45 mins to 1 hour everyday) did not help at all. i am not entirely blaming the professors, but i would have liked better cooperation from them as well, especially because almost 75% of the school commutes.
