For genereal context, I am a transfer from a community college with a strong gpa (3.9). This is my first semester at a target school (think USC Indiana Boston College). My gpa will not be as high and it will likely be at its lowest a 3.3. This is my first semester and i am in the middle of recruiting right now. I haven't had much success and I was curious on what I should do going forward.
