So, I'll get to the point as soon as I can...
I went to the NC school of science and mathematics, so my high school transcript is a plus.
I ended up going to Illinois Institute of Technology for college going for aerospace and mechanical engineering. A year and a half through I decide to take time off because of family problems/stress from it and because I don't feel right there. GPA due to above stress and me being stupid = 2.5 =( =( =(
So I have decided instead of going back and paying crazy amounts of money because I lost most of my 3.25 and 3.0 scholarships, that I would "start over".
Now my question is, I know I can't lie to NC state (best in-state school here besides Duke for engineering and hopefully where I'll go next) that I went to another college, and I know they'll want a transcript from them (ouch ouch ouch), so would it be better to start from scratch not trying to be a transfer student and choosing a different major, or risk their 3.0 recommended and 2.0+ considered gpa specs for engineering transfer students?
I screwed myself, at least I learned the best lesson of my life. I really want to go back to college.
