<p>Hi guys thanks for taking your time to read this,</p>
<p>I decide to join the forums because I am really confused on what route to take.</p>
<p>I was in a CSU up in Northern California, and did horrible.</p>
<p>Took 3 classes Fall 2011, failed 2, passed Remedial Math.</p>
<p>Took 5 classes Spring 2012, failed 2 (including Remedial Math), passed English and Computer Arts.</p>
<p>So total I received only 6 units out of 18...</p>
<p>I had a lot of problems going on while I was up there family issues, dad getting heart attack, aunt dying, etc. It seems like a bad excuse but it was really hard for me to concentrate.</p>
<p>I was never a F or D person. I always passed my grades in high school...I had a 3.8 in high school.</p>
<p>I'm back home now in LA now for the summer and next 2 years because I was academically disqualified.</p>
<p>I have a total GPA of 1.1 from up there. I almost feel as if it was just better to go straight to CC instead of wasting time up there.</p>
<p>I'm going to Santa Monica City College to get my life and grades back together. I am planning on transferring after 2 years into a UC.</p>
<p>I am taking 15 units, including a 3 unit course during the summer.</p>
<p>My question is, with such a low GPA of 1.1 from up in my previous school, and my counselor telling me my transcripts will follow me when I transfer, do I even have a chance to transfer into a UC?</p>
<p>Also, I signed up for FAFSA, BOG Fee Waiver, and CalGrant because my parents have a low income. The policy is you must maintain a 2.0 GPA in order to keep the financial aid. Does that mean when the school receives and sees my transcripts from CSU, will they take away my financial aid? I already got my summer course waived, but the counselor said it might get taken away from me.</p>
<p>Please answer!</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
