Transfer question for spring

Question

I have a question, I’m trying to transfer to a regional UConn in Stamford, I really want to transfer by spring but I had a issue arise my second semester of college. My mom in February almost died and it really messed with me because whenever I left my house I was paranoid something bad would happen, then in mid April she got diagnosed and had to start taking chemotherapy, it was really messing with me and I couldn’t focus on my studies my gpa was a 2.9 before the issue now it’s really down, I want to transfer by spring but I don’t know if talking to the admissions officer about this if they’ll reason and help me get in I just want your opinions on this issue

Answer 1

Hard to say, Frank. The quality of the answer really depends on the quality of your admissions officer (though I'd suspect UConn will have a good one). I'd strongly suggest you start that conversation as soon as you can. You've been through a lot this year, some seriously profound issues and it might be worth talking with the school counselor, too. No harm and it might help. You need to share your feelings (and GPA) with someone you trust.
