I have a gpa of 3.6, but I only made a 18 on my act. I decided to go to volstate then transfer. Is this good?

I really want to get into MTSU after 2years at Volstate. I'm majoring in nursing. I have always wanted to be a pediatric nurse. If I enroll at MTSU as a transfer student. Do I have a better chance getting in and earning more scholarships. I am a very dedicated student. In high school, I graduated with honors and made mostly A's and B's the only C I made was in Chemistry Honors. I took college algebra in high school, was in honor society and a health club called HOSA. I would be fine if only I was a good test taker. Some reason I can't take timed test and my weakness is math.
