Currently, I'm a Junior studying industrial engineering(taking sophomore level courses in that) with the initial intent of transferring into biomedical engineering. I've always had anxiety issues, but this year, it hit a peak. I was in intense emotional pain for a good portion of the academic year so far, to the extent that just going to class triggered anxiety attacks. In that condition, even going to class is useless. This is my first year at my new school, I transferred in with a GPA of 3.55 on 60 credit hours(all A's in Calc 1-3, A in physics, B in chem, A's in just about everything else) from a well-known engineering-focused university and took classes at a community college here before transferring into the university. I received a 3.5 at the community college. My first semester of this year was by far the most painful period of my life, and without going into detail, I dropped 3 classes and received an F in 1, subsequently I was put on academic probation. This semester, I'm taking two courses, and will likely fail the 4 credit one with and F(for a ridiculous reason, but the fact remains), and a 3 credit one with a D. Now, I'm at the end of the line, or so it feels. I'm certainly getting booted out of here, but I'm still planning on taking classes at the community colleges to receive a computer sciences associates degree by next summer(the community college ranks fairly high, and the plan is to work full-time next year and take 3-4 courses during the semester). I've been getting my **** together little by little, and although I still have anxiety attacks every now and again, it's nothing I can't manage. I know myself well enough now to know my habits and how to tweak them. I'm confident that I am ready to get my academic career back on track, but the prospects of my old university and college taking me back are slim. So now, I want to transfer into a university that's around the same academic-wise, but it's somewhat more selective. My goal still remains biomedical engineering and upon the end of the next academic year, I plan on traveling down to the university I want to attend and putting a face and a voice to my performance in my current university. Assuming the next 2 semesters will go well, what should my course of action be? Is my plan plausible? Thank you!
