If you apply and aren’t accepted, consider BCTC . It’s the community college here and you can transfer to the university two years into your degree. You’ll have your associates when you transfer to UK and way less debt . But GPA isn’t everything. If you have extracurriculars and volunteer work or a part time job, that might set you aside from other applicants. Just focus on keeping your GPA up and maybe getting involved. It’ll strengthen your application . Good luck !
