u/SOS101GetIt

Title, I am an incoming transfer I got accepted for economics and I’m coming from UMBC.

At UMBC I am was doing the double degree track for Financial Economics and Information Systems. I have 84 credits at UMBC, 79 at UMD once I send my final transcript. I currently have a 3.55 GPA but it’s definitely going down no lower than a 3.40.

I really had no clue Smith was an LEP, it’s entirely my fault for not originally applying with it. But I need to be a business major I love taking those classes. I don’t mind being in Accounting, Finance, general Business, or Information Systems.

I had a horrible semester because I had recurring GI issues all sem that made school so much harder and my grades mildly slipped (and I think I failed my micro analysis class). I have the doctors notes I can give the school if they need proof.

Some of my grades stats for the LEP stuff:
Accounting I/II: B + B
Calculus I: A
Microeconomics: B
Macroeconomics: A

Currently have a stats class that won’t carry over (STAT351) idk what my grade is to be honest, I can update when I get it.

I have B’s in the 2 management classes I took at UMBC, IS300 and IS210. I ended with an A in IS310 and IS369. (I don’t know how much these matter).

I know every one is different and I will be speaking to an advisor. I just really need to be a business major and I wondered if I was truly cooked. I love economics but I also do need that second degree, and if not business I don’t know what else I can do.

I M19 have a brother M16 let’s call him Mick. So Mick decided to get a part time job for “the summer” although he doesn’t have his drivers license yet and can’t drive. I can’t drive because I get bad panic attacks and it’s caused me bad health issues, mainly stomach problems. My parents don’t believe that I suffer this much driving so they keep telling me to get my license no matter what the circumstance is, it’s constant reminding, mentioning, and lecturing, I feel so stressed all the time.

My brother has a shift Monday and can’t get there because no one can drive there. They told me that I’m selfish and don’t want to do anything for my family because I won’t get my license to drive him. When all of the time I have to hear from my brother how I have no job and no license and I’m pushing 20.

If I had it my way I’d be in a college dorm, and I don’t care what physical labor I’d have to do, just anything to never have to come home. I blew up at my parents when they asked me again, because I said he doesn’t need the job he wants it, he doesn’t have a license so he doesn’t need to work.

He just wants a job for no reason and my parents are saying I don’t appreciate my family. AITAH?

Also, I know I’m a leech. Although I really do hate driving and it causes me so much pain that if I could get a job I would, I would pay anything, go anywhere where I could walk or bike, and rid them of the burden of taking care of me.
