<p>A bunch of F grades in high school would make it hard sell to frosh admissions, particularly if the F grades cause you to not have enough a-g courses for UC and CSU. You can appeal, but do not expect much.</p>
<p>But if you already have 20 units of credit at CC, why not just continue at CC, take the needed courses to transfer to a UC or CSU (since those seem to be your target schools anyway) as a junior in your major (see [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) ) and then apply as a junior transfer student, when your high school record becomes irrelevant?</p>
