<p>I went to USC, spent 2 years there and unfortunately did not do very well (1.92), before taking a leave of absence due to depression/anxiety. Now I'm at my local community college getting straight A's and planning on transferring after a semester or two.</p>
<p>I was accepted to several schools after high school, will that affect my chances in transferring to them after CC?</p>
<p>Have I screwed myself with my USC GPA? How will a high GPA at CC compare to my low USC GPA?</p>
<p>Also I can’t find a way to edit that post but I just wanted to add that my high school stats are good with 2310 SATs, 800 and 760 SAT IIs.</p>
<p>I don’t think the possibility of transferring is looking too well for you. The reason is that you have accumulated too many units. Your high school record make too much of a difference, given that you’ve had more than 2 years post secondary.</p>
<p>I actually dropped a lot of classes in my two years at USC so I only finished 5 classes there (including 1 I retook with a higher grade) + 1 at community college over the summer after leaving/coming home for my leave of absence and 2 in progress at community college possibly adding 2 more this semester.</p>
<p>Any advantage you may gain in being previously admitted will be obliterated by your USC GPA. That said, you show an upward trend, so shoot for some mid-level schools (and even some reaches in the top 45) and you may be surprised. If you’re looking to go to a USC-like school (e.g., four year, private, top 30), don’t hold your breath: Your SATs show how bright you are, but expose an inability to complete college-level coursework and thus brand you as the dreaded split indicator. (Were this law school, I’d say your test scores mitigate a lot of damage, but it’s not.)</p>
<p>What if I were to get a 4.0 in my CC classes? Also how many semesters would it be recommended I stay at my CC? I figure if I continue with good grades it would be advantageous to stay to show a pattern of good grades/upward trend.</p>
<p>You should take these questions up with the transfer advisors at your community college. They deal with students with histories just like yours all the time, and have experience with helping them find good places to go.</p>
<p>Since your first two years were such a disaster, you should probably complete a full associates degree in a major program that has an articulation agreement with one or more 4-year schools. That way you will be guaranteed a place somewhere when you finish your associates.</p>
