<p>Title says it all to be honest.. But here's the story anyways.</p>
<p>I started college back in 2011 naive and didn't really take anything seriously.
I've always had a drug abuse problem so naturally in my head I could conquer the world of college but in reality I failed every single class I took for 2 years.
That totaled to 6 F's and 2 W's.</p>
<p>2013, started to get my act together. I finally started to seek help and try to stop my drug problem.
Left my old school mainly because I knew people there that could pull me back to using again.
Started fresh at a new school but first semester I failed miserably with 1 F and 2 W's because I was having a pretty rough time quitting.
Fall 2013, was a lot better got 2 A's and 1 B because everything started to come to me and finally had a better grasp of my addiction problem. </p>
<p>Currently I've been mainly getting A's and have 2 B's, I HAVEN'T told my counselor that I have been to a different CC so my transcript says I have a 3.8 GPA. I've read that if i don't disclose my previous school's records that later I might get expelled. I honestly don't know how good my chances are with my situation.
I want to transfer to a UC and do engineering, but I have a feeling I might not even get in any school. </p>
<p>You should complete your AA degree with a good grade before attempt to transfer. In that you will prove to the 4 year university that you have changed. </p>
<p>great, I think the schools will take your most recent grades and forgive your past. You should and must, however, submit all the transcripts with an explanation in your apps. You should apply to all UCs as they have articulation agreements with the CA CC’s. CSUs do not.</p>
<p>As others have said, you should definitely complete your AA. Colleges take into account how your performance changes. If you started out getting A’s and B’s, then slipped to F’s and W’s in your last year, it would look very bad. Starting out with F’s and W’s then significantly improving your academic performance shows that you’ve changed. </p>
<p>As a former addict, I can tell you that life is much better on this side. Keep doing well, and you’ll get where you need to be. Don’t let your past hold you down. Just move forward and do as well as you possibly can. </p>
<p>Most states have articulation agreements that guarantee transfer of certain courses between community colleges and state universities. It largely covers GenEd type courses, and most of the lower level major courses. </p>
