Fact: You transfer from other school, you shift from other courses within that school.
My transfer business in Diliman is in jeopardy.
You see, I really thought the only requirement for transferring is a GWA of 2.25. I have a GWA of 1.8, which is way above the requirement. But then, yesterday, I got a tragic news that still haunts me today. It seems, since I am transferring to the Department of English and Comparative Literature, my average grade in English subjects must be 2.00 or higher. My total weighted average for my English subjects, dear reader, is 2.1.
But it isn't the end of the world. Actually, there's only a 20% chance that I won't get accepted in the department, since the one I talk to wasn't sure if it's only Eng1 or Eng2 that would be included in the grade average. It seems my HUM 1, amidst a literature subject, can be considered as an English subject since the department tackled it years back. And when I asked the department itself about it, the SA (student assistant) told me that Eng2 isn't really included since they don't have it in the department. The problem is, all of these stuff are just speculations.
Here's my list of possibilities:
As you can see, the odds are favorable with me. However, I am not satisfied with these odds, as the chance of not being transferred still poses a threat against me. Having a really confused head right now. Help me, anyone who knows how to transfer to the English Department? :(

Here's my list of possibilities:
1. Eng1 and Eng2 only, average is 2.12. I won't get transferred.
2. Eng1 and Eng2 only, average is 2.12, but sees that my total GWA is high. Favorable.
3. Eng1, Eng2 and Hum1 (or SPCM1), average is 2.00 (or higher). Favorable.
4. Eng 2 not counted. Favorable.
5. There's no really such rule that the English GWA must be 2.00. Favorable.
