Community college to USC? Please answer

I’m new to this site so I’m not sure if this is where the topic should belong. If it’s in the wrong place please move it so I get quality answers,much appreciation. I’ve been struggling through highschool and realized that I will have to apply with a gpa of 2.8. Sadly. I am in the state of Georgia and I plan to attend a small college or community college and transfer to USC. Do you think this is remotely possible? How will I know the credits will transfer? There isn’t much on USC’s transfer page except only colleges in the state of California. What is the process of transfering like, how should it be done? Again, I’m new to the website so… if I’m doing anything wrong or out of the ordinary, please point it out haha. All answers are appreciated. Thank you

Also, while transfering , do your EC’s from highschool go on your application to the school you are transferring too? Or is it a clean slate and you put whatever you did in the previous college? How’s that work too
