Im 19f. I have had good times and bad times since starting community college last year. I have 3 Cs- 1 in psych that I took when I was 17, 1 in pre calc because i had a death in the family and 1 in Calc 1 because I took a short 8 week course. Everything else is an A or B. I have taken about 15 classes so far. I feel really glad that I didnt stupidly take one of my major pre req courses before I got my crap together.

I do not have the best support support system, my mom hates that I go to community college. She said she wants me out of there with in a year, but I have about 10 or 11 science classes left to take. I counted and it should take me 2.5 years to take all 10 ish. I have three Ws, which I am trying to get removed. I feel really depressed because I have a 3.08 GPA and It took me a while to realize if I applied myself a bit more I would have made my Cs into Bs and Bs into As.
so if i get mostly As in the science courses that i have left will my gpa increase significantly? atleast until 3.6 or 3.5.

If you get all As and Bs of course your GPA will increase.
However, why biology? It’s the major with the lowest ROI.
Also, why does your mom not like that you’re at CC, does she want you to work or does she want you at a 4-year college?
Also,are you sure you still have 11 science classes to take? Are you on quarters not semesters? Because if semesters that’s a lot. A full major would often have 12 classes.

If you take at least 10 more courses and earn As and Bs in all of them, you will end up with a respectable GPA. Moreover, you will be able to point to your improvement over time, which is something that transfer colleges like to see. I don’t know you, but my concern is that you appear to trying to make external excuses for all of the reasons why you did not do well so far. Hopefully, that too will change, along with your GPA.
