What do Colleges Think of Retaking Classes?

<p>I did horrible in both AP Physics and APUSH. I had a rough 1st Semester due to serious family issues. I spoke to my guidance counselor and she advised me that I would able to retake both classes online through FLVS. She said that the grade I received through the online course would be taken and my other grade would be dropped from my transcipt (Through Grade Forgiveness). But she only told me that Florida colleges would accept my successful attempt in these classes. I'm not sure what other out of state colleges would think of retaking my classes. Would they accept the better grade or both grades?</p>
