I need some advice for my girlfriend. She's been trying to complete a Computer Engineering degree at a major university for a couple years now. She's had trouble with her schoolwork, but rather than switch majors, she tried to stick with it.
But now, it looks like she might fail out of her engineering college, and she's finally beginning to think that CE might not be really what she wants to do. So she wants to start over at a new school, with a new major (she's still undecided what that will be).
Unfortunately, her GPA isn't so great anymore. Also, most of the professors that could give her a good recommendation haven't seen her in a couple years. So, with a lack of a good GPA, or current references, it may be difficult to get accepted to just any school.
I've heard that if you spend a couple years at a Community College, you can usually transfer into a major university.
Do any CAGs have advice for how to start over with a clean slate?
Thanks in advance.
