Plans shot to hell.....again

With my acceptance to UNR a slew of considerations have cropped up. The most pressing being the out of state tuition.  When I applied I had hoped to be classified as a Western Undergraduate Exchange student.  If I had been I would pay 150% of UNR's per unit fee.  But, at this point I am classified as a straight non resident which means I pay the per unit fee plus a $5,200 fee per semester. Big, huge, ginormous difference in affordability. What has happened is that there is a  minimum cumulative gpa and I am .037 grade points below it.  F#^#%$^!  I am so frustrated.  
what to do, what to do.  My thought is that if I take 8 semester units somewhere this fall, and get A's, it bumps my gpa up over the limit and they have to include them in my transfer gpa. But do they have to?? (I have emailed the question to the admission folks but no reply yet) Because Fall semesters have started, and I'm in Florida my options are limited to online or correspondence, and UNR has independent learning classes through their extended studies. 

Besides where to live, work, money, length of time there.  what am i even doing??!!
