<p>IMO,
IF you re-start with a community college now and get all As for your AA degree, transfer into a state school and get all As as well. Then, maybe at the graudate level you may be able to enter a top tier school. For UG, the chances to get nto top tier schools are so slim that it does not matter.</p>
<p>That is JUST MO. And as all the above, I really don’t think you can hide your past, but the colleges may choose forgive and forget.</p>
