University to CC then back to University?

Transfer Students

<p>Have you guys heard about anybody doing this before? </p>

<p>Well right now I'm trying to do that.. I did my freshman year at University of Illinois at Champaign and did not do very well. I ended up with a 2.0 gpa and had a choice of appealing to the decision, if there was any reason behind my low gpa (which there was) or reapply a year later. I chose not to appeal as I severely dislike Illinois.. So I've come back home and now am going to a community college.</p>

<p>Only 9 credits were transfered into my community college. NINE!? I feel so bad for doing this as it's almost I went there for nothing. $20k down the drain. </p>

<p>So let's say I finish up and get my 60 credits and I hopefully bring my GPA to a 3.5 or higher. How is my first year GPA at Illinois going to affect my Community college GPA when I apply to transfer to another school? I failed my Macroeconomics class at Illinois, so that can't look good at all for me... </p>

<p>Somebody help me?</p>

<p>you didnt need to transfer your units to the community college, unless you are seeking a degree there. Assuming that you completed GE classes with 30 units at U of Ill, and complete 30 units at a CC, then you can just apply to another school and send them transcripts from both schools; that way, you are now applying with 60 units in hand.</p>

<p>Also, i recommend you retake that econ class and get an A in your CC</p>

<p>Hmm I never thought about that. I only compeleted 21 credits alltogether at UofI. I failed one (3 credits) and withdrawn from a 5 credit class. The rest of my grades I had ton of D's which is why I only had 9 credits transferred to my CC.</p>

<p>Won't that mean that other University's would do the same? Not accept credit from the classes I made D's in?</p>

<p>yep, most of the time C are the minimum grade they accept</p>

<p>oh, thats a different scenario. </p>

<p>Your credits wont transfer unless u have a C or higher (c- at some schools). </p>

<p>I thought that your CC didnt accept them because they werent in their catalog.</p>

<p>Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that part. I just gotta do my best then.</p>

<p>Your prospective four year university .... is definitely going to take into account all the GPA's you have earned at the respective universities you have attended.</p>

<p>Yea, but if he kicks butt at Community College, then they wouldn't look at the those grades as attentively as the most recent ones.</p>
