<p>Does CalTech accept students from community colleges. I screwed up in HS and would up with a poor GPA. However, in between junior and senior year I was able to teach myself everything up to Calculus II and have a 4.0 GPA at my current CC and am taking the most difficult courses I can take and taking the most credits the CC allows. All straight A's.</p>
<p>My HS record is just not very good and I feel that CalTech will just chuck my file in the garbage if I send it in. I'm a very intelligent individual but besides being able to teach myself a very hard subject (Calc II all by myself), I really do not have much to back up my claims which I think is going to kill me. I plan on going to med school and I know I can go pretty much anywhere for that but I have my eyes set on CalTech and MIT. Is there no hope at all?</p>
