<p>“in order to start over again with a completely fresh GPA.”</p>
<p>You can’t start over again with a completely fresh GPA. Your grades from these three semesters are what they are, and they will always count for transfer and graduate school admission. Any highly selective school like UNC will look at all your grades. If you bring your grades up, of course that will help you, but that will be more or less the same whether the improved grades come from UR or elsewhere.</p>
