<p>Hello everyone, I am wondering if this aspect of my application is going to hurt me.</p>
<p>Basic Stats:
3.9 unweighted gpa/ 4.35 weighted gpa
2200 SAT (superscored, not that it makes a difference right?): 690CR 790M 720W
Hooks: Socioeconomic and personal adversity?</p>
<p>Anyways, beginning of my junior year in HS, I decided to take community college courses to expand my opportunities in learning other subjects of math and science. I have taken 5 classes. 2B's and 2A's which somehow adds up to a 3.5 GPA. Is this too atrocious to even mention on my college apps to top schools?</p>
<p>Transcript:
5 units (Summer): PreCalculus B
3 units (Fall): Astronomy I A
3 units (Spring): Astronomy II A
3 units (Spring): Macroecon. B -> (I had to take it for school credit :/)
5 units (Summer): Calculus II A</p>
<p>I took these classes with a myriad of other AP's if that makes the situation less severe. Sorry if there's any grammatical mistakes, I am rushing.</p>
<p>Don’t kill yourself over it. It is going to hurt you a bit, considering that was your junior year grades, but that doesn’t mean community college.
Providing everything is still up to snuff, there’s still a good chance for top 20 schools.</p>

That would be a particularly bad idea, not listing the CC classes. Colleges tell you to list all classes taken, including at a CC. You sign your app saying it is complete and truthful.</p>
<p>There are just all kinds of ways for you to be caught. For one, the CC may notify your HS of your attendance if you take classes while a HS student; in fact you <em>know</em> they did because you took a class for HS credit. So at least this class will be on your HS transcript, which means whatever college you enroll in will want an official transcript from the CC – and said transcript will list <em>all</em> classes. </p>
<p>And there is a national student registry that tracks student enrollment. Over the summer once they know who has enrolled, colleges check their new students against the database. They are looking, for example, for students that already have completed a year of college but decided they want a fresh start as a freshman (yes, people ask about doing that on the forum too). When you are discovered your admission will be revoked.</p>
<p>3 A’s and 2B’s would give you a 3.6, which is pretty good considering you took pretty hard courses.</p>
<p>It’s actually 3.5 
due to the fact the cc weights the amount of units one class is.</p>
