how many semesters before transferring ?

<p>sorry about the influx of posts lately but i feel these are all separate topics and would benefit everyone here.</p>

<p>say one has bad grades at a previous university and decides to transfer to CC, how many semesters must this student spend at the CC to help sway the admissions counselor at their next prospective university ?</p>

<p>because the admissions counselor looks at previous college transcripts as well.. say one gets > 3.7 for 2 semesters at the community college but had <2.5 at their original university where they spent 4 semesters. </p>

<p>is 2 semesters enough to sway the admissions counselors ?
what about 1 semester with a 4.0 at the CC ?</p>
