So I'd like to transfer to college park ultimately after community college! I have the grades that they want...However, I have one issue. I have four dropped classes, one in calc 2 and one in physics 1... I got the grade they wanted in calc 2 on the first try but i wanted an A..Ultimately dropped the class. For the physics 1 drop, I had some family stuff going on that caused me to drop that.. What are other good engineering programs comparable to that of umd college park's in the DMV area?? L

If you went back and re-took these courses and earned an A or B, then I don't think you will have a problem.
