   I am a foreign student in a small D1 college. I came to compete in the 100 m dash, but consequently we found out that I can score in the jumps, so I started doing the long jump, and later triple jump. My best 100 m is 10.77. In the jumps, last year I was in the high 22' in the long jump and my indoor triple jump PR is 49'1", which happened the second time I ever did triple jump. This indoor season I PR in the long jump and went 23'1, and 6.97 in the 60 m in one meet in December. The next meet after the Christmas break I pulled my hamstring, due to a lot of reasons including lack of adequate facilities to train, and I have been tormented by injuries every since, mostly due to not getting enough time for them to heal.
   What I would like to know is what chances I have in transferring to a bigger school with better training facilities, especially for the winter. I will be a junior next fall. My biggest issue is that I need a substantial athletic scholarship, and if it is not full, the rest of the cost has to be covered by a merit scholarship, provided a GPA of 3.5-3.6 gets me considered for one.

Thanks
