Yeah transferring does come back to bite you in the ass... My GPA doesn't transfer from my old school and I have to take THREE classes this summer (which means no internship) in order to stay on track and not be a full year behind. Gotta do what ya gotta do I guess.

That sucks. I contemplated taking 3 summer classes as well but I just don't see it happening.

Obviously you guys don't go to an overcrowded, underfunded Community College. They have to let everybody in, but they don't have enough $ to hire enough teachers.

only good thing about being in the honors program at my college... we were like second in line for registering for classes (behind international students, ahead of seniors if I remember right)

Damn registration system. I transferred so I'm a 'semester behind' by the computer, so every other semester I get screwed and have to register with the class under me. Anyway, it was fine until now. Registration for next year began this past week. I've talked to 2 friends who transferred as well, but one registered last Wed and the other last Thursday. Mine is tomorrow.

I looked on my roommate's account and every damn important class I need is full. Transfer = worst decision ever.

and no I'm not going to FML

Like everyone else said, don't give up. Get on the waiting list for every class you need to take and then talk to the professor, your dean, your advisor, or anybody you think can help you. It's a little stressful, but if you put the energy into it, you'll get into the classes you want.

Step 3: I never needed a step 3, because steps 1 and 2 always worked.

My wife did the same. I don't have that option, as the VA paperwork requires me to register early and get it done as soon as possible.
