<p>I am currently a sophomore at a local community college in my city.
Once I came out of high school, I started university in San Francisco State University but things were not so great, I had a really bad roommate who smoked weed in our room and a lot of times she would lock me out of the room so there goes lots of studying, resting and sleeping time thrown in the trash. Living with her made me hate studying in San Francisco, ( I could not move out because of the lease contract) and I ended up having really bad grades. I had a 1.46 GPA.
I decided to go back to my hometown and start brand new at a community college. I currently have 2.8GPA including my SFSU's GPA. </p>
<p>So my question is, does CSU & UC campus count SFSU's gpa or no? because if it does not, then my GPA is much higher than the one I currently have. Since my GPA is so low, I am not sure which colleges I can apply to.. any advices? </p>
<p>Yes, all your target colleges will examine all your college grades. The best source of advice is your current Cmty college “Transfer Adviser”. It’s his/her job to specifically advise students such as yourself. That person will be able to evaluate your entirety and make suggestions. Best of luck to you</p>
<p>You aren’t the first person I’ve heard have a similar problem in the SFSU dorms. It is a shame they don’t enforce their published policies. It is a real drag when someone else’s ‘personal freedom’ encroaches on your life. </p>
<p>Sac State, Sonoma and maybe Chico are some transfer targets to consider.</p>
<p>Also connect with your target school’s admission.</p>
Yes, all college grades count. But life isn’t so simple that they just look at one number. Depending on the college they will also look at what you’ve done lately as more predictive of the type of student you are then grades from 2 years back. Given that you are a sophomore now and apparently have not yet applied to CSU/UC schools (or else you’d have your acceptances and rejections for Sept 2014 in hand by now), you are looking at entering in Fall 2015. Some UC schools have an admission guarantee called TAG for which you may be eligible. Go see a xfer counselor at your CC, something you should be doing regardless. There may be preferences or guarantees at CSU schools, too; ask about that. Also ask about academic renewal; it may be possible to retake some classes in which you got a D or less (perhaps you’ve done so already) and have the new grade replace the old in calculating your gpa.</p>
