Hey guys! I was just looking for some feedback! I completed my AA at southern New Hampshire university and got a 4.0! I took to long to apply to my local state school and so I took two semesters at my local community college and got a 4.0 the first semester and a 3.6 the second! I just transferred up to my state university this semester and it has been rough! I work full time and started two volunteer opportunities and I believe the combo of finding my way at the new school on top of all that messed with my mojo. I'm only taking 9 credits this semester cell bio and Chem 2 with lab and it's been more challenging than a full time semester. My Chem 2 class is looking like it is going to be either B or B+ and my cell bio is bordering a -B/+C. I'm working my butt off to make sure I pass these finals. But am I screwed because of a downward trend? I didn't take any science class in my AA so I was able to keep my GPA high. But now I'm worried I shot myself in the foot.

I plan on taking summer off to cram a bunch of extra curricular hours in and then jumping back on board fall semester.

Thanks guys!

You're screwed if it becomes a downward trend, but 2 b's/c's one semester soph year does not a downward trend make. Cut back on your commitments and take control of your coursework
 
Get to your school's education or learning center ASAP.

Also check out the counseling center in case the adjustment to the new school is due to, or causing psychological issues.
