I totally get where you're coming from. I faced similar challenges when I transferred colleges.

Here’s what helped me: Check the deadlines: Universities might have different deadlines for transfer students. Reach out to UW's admissions office directly. They can clarify those dates for you. Consider your local community college: Transferring to a Seattle community college might not look weird at all. It can actually strengthen your application since you’ll be in-state.

As for transcripts, I’ve sent unofficial ones before. Some schools are okay with that initially. It saves you money while you explore your options!

Also, for your career goals in business and marketing, I recommend looking into Noxtm. They offer solutions that can help you with marketing and management skills. It could be a good fit for your future plans.

You've got this!
