Hi,
This is my very first post, and I hope my question would be answered.
So my situation is that I attended La Sierra University in California.
This is a 4yr-Christian private university. There, as a pre-nursing student from Fall '08 to Fall '09, I took

College Writing 111 (B+)
College Writing 112 (A-)
College Writing 113 (A-)
Intro Inorganic Chem & Lab (A/C)
Intro Organic Chem & Lab (A-/A)
Intro Biochem (B/A)
Intro Physics (A)
Human Anatomy&Physiology I & II (A/B+)
Basic Medical Microbiology (B)
General Psychology (B)
General Sociology (A)
Christian Beliefs (A)
Music Appreciation (A)
took Korean Language Exam to get credits for Korean I, II, and III (all passed)
and other humanities classes for prerequisites for pre-nursing.

I did not have to take any math courses, since I took AP Calc I (5) and AP Calc II (5). Also I managed to take classes in Riverside Community College during summer the following classes:

Developmental Psych (A)
Public Speech (A)

So my overall GPA with courses I took within 1yr and a quarter comes out to be 3.5
Now, I have withdrawn from La Sierra University due to personal business
and I am planning change my major to Pre-pharm and take classes at Fullerton College near my house.
I'm private tutoring chemistry.
I'm looking for pharm shadowing right now.
After all the prerequisites done, I want to transfer to Rutgers in New Jersey.

My question is ..

1. Would it look like I'm transferring from a 4yr. private university? or from a community college?

2. Prerequisites are totally different. I need to take General Chem I and II, General Organic Chem I and II, General Physics I and II. But I heard it might look bad on the application, since I am "going back" from Intro Organic Chem to General Chem. Should I still take the class?

3. Would I have any chance.. of getting admitted to Rutgers University? :oops:

4. What other ECs should I get done in order to raise my chance of getting accepted? :oops:
