<p>Here's my situation, I accumulated terrible grades over the course of my first three semester at my community college. I didn't take school serious back then, I am not gonna lie and say it was because of "personal reasons" for my bad grades, I was just plain lazy and stupid. Anyway, I have 6 D's, 4 F's and about 4 W's. I took about two years off from school and returned to the same college and repeated every F, D or W, I received and replaced the grades with a A or B. I also finished just about all the GE requirements. I have about 65 or 70 credits. I understand that even though I replaced my bad grades with an A or B, the original grade still remain on the transcript. So I am asking if I ruined my chances at getting into a university because I have so many bad grades? Do the colleges hold these repeated classes against me and will it hamper my chances at getting
into a university?
Please, anyone with information let me know.</p>
<p>can anyone please provide me with some sort of answer??</p>
<p>I’m not an expert, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I do believe that even though your initial grades remain, you show tremendous initiative by retaking all those classes and succeeding. If I were an admissions officer, that would show that yes, perhaps in your past you weren’t a university level student. But now you are. The UCs, particularly the upper level ones, may be a stretch. But UC Merced or Riverside, along with the less competitivve CSU’s (not SDSU or CSU SLO) are completely plausible. It’s worth applying for certain. Best of luck! Chance me please if you have the time </p>
