Transfering Advice

<p>This year I will be a sophomore in community college. I plan on transferring to LMU (CA) or UOP in the spring. I have a few questions. My freshman year I took classes at 3 different community colleges in California so that I could get all the classes I needed. I took a Calculus class at Palomar Community College and received a C in the class. I can’t retake it, however, it is the only class I have taken at that community college. Without the C, I have a 3.7 GPA with 24 unit completed, however, with the C I have 29 units completed with a ~3.4. So my question is this: Would it be better for me to apply to LMU or UOP and not send them my transcript from Palomar College so they would see that I have 24units with a 3.7 GPA? What are my chances based on a high school gpa of 3.4 and an SAT of 1670?</p>

<p>I think its a good idea to not send that transcript when you apply, remember you can always send it later after your admitted if you need credit for the class. </p>

<p>If you are a rising junior then the HS record will be less important then the grades from your first two years than if you are a rising sophomore. A ~3.7 will probably get you into LMU given what they accept on average. Your SAT scores make you a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>If I was in your situation (and its a good situation), I would take the SAT again and try to get 100 or 200 points better, then I would consider my admission to LMU a safe bet.</p>

<p>Sure it would be better, it just wouldn’t be legal.</p>

<p>When you APPLY to a college you are REQUIRED to send transcripts from ALL previous colleges you have attended. Colleges check your previous record here:</p>

<p>What options do I have for the C I have recieved? The college that I have recieved the grade from wont let me retake it, however, I can sign up for that class at another community college, would that be a better idea?</p>
