<p>**EDIT- Admins can you please move this thread to UC transfers?? i did not see that when i posted this.</p>
<p>Hello all,
I need your opinion on what I should do in my situation...
Basically I graduated high school on 06 and have been going to community college ever since.
I went to Pasadena Community college first and then Santa Monica College until spring of 2008 and I did bad at both of them. (Bad grades and withdrawals)</p>
<p>I started going to Glendale community college since Fall of 2009 to start my academic career on a fresh slate and am doing extremely better (3.5 gpa)</p>
<p>Im applying this november to just UCs and am wondering whether or not to put in the grades from PCC and SMC as well as the ones from GCC. or whether I should ONLY put in the GCC grades in the application. I remember when I registered for PCC i went through the CCC (california community college) system and am just worried the admissions committees going through that system to check.</p>
<p>Cliff notes: Started over at third community college after going to two to start on a clean slate and am doing so much better. Applying to UCs this fall. Wondering about opinions on how I should input my grades in application.</p>
<p>Please let me know your opinions...any would be greatly appreciated..</p>
<p>you should enter your grades for all the colleges that you attended. If you don’t your admission will be rescinded when your current CC sends over your transcripts. (did they ask for transcripts from the other colleges you attended?)</p>
<p>If you fulfilled any of your IGETC or major prereqs at a different community college you will have to list them to get credit. </p>
<p>You will need to enter in all grades for all colleges you have attended. Your GPA will be based on all of your grades from all three campuses. Do not knowingly exclude any information, this, as mentioned, would be grounds for any admission offer you receive being rescinded.</p>
<p>If you are a California resident, you need minimum a 2.4 (some departments do require a higher GPA) to be UC qualified. If you fall below this, you’re SOL. However, if you have the opportunity to do academic renewal (check first to see if anything you did counts as course repetition, though) at your previous schools, then you will want to do this as soon as possible.</p>
<p>I highly recommend (and some schools require it) meeting with a counselor at your previous campuses to discuss this option if it is one you would want (or need) to pursue.</p>
<p>And one can raise their GPA just by taking additional classes and passing them with high grades. But if someone is able to turn their grades around that much, they’ll be eligible for Academic Renewal by all of the policies I have so far viewed. There is a limit to how much you can renew, of course, and it varies campus to campus.</p>
<p>But yeah, you can raise a GPA without Academic Renewal. It just takes time (the amount of which depends how many units you have. The more units, the longer it will take).</p>
<p>ahnkheo, the other thing to consider is that UCs do like to see people bettering their academic performance over time. I think if you can demonstrate that you have changed and are a more serious student now (which will be apparent just from looking at your grades), they will weigh your current GCC coursework much heavier than your old coursework and that will help you a lot. Good luck!!!</p>
