University Student with 2.3 GPA and 90 credits - Looking to Transfer

Hi Folks,

I took college courses back in 2006 and have about 90 credits from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I am only a few semesters away from my Bachelors in Hawaii but no longer live in Hawaii. I was having a hard time in my life at that time, and that is the reason for my poor GPA.

I want to finish my degree in California but my GPA is so low to transfer (I assume).

What should I do? I’d like to attend a college like Chapman or Loyola Marymount but don’t make the 3.0 requirements.

Is it possible to ‘start all over’ and just attend a Community College and then transfer to another college if I get better grades?
