It sounds like you might have some hurdles, but I still think you should be able to get in – if only on a probationary period. I suggest that you contact either the dean of admissions or an admissions counselor at the school of your choice and discuss this with them. Provide them with a copy of your transcript and see what they tell you. What’s the worse they could tell you? My guess is that at worst you’d have to spend another semester at the CC.

There’s nothing wrong with a community college. I graduated from a very expensive school and quite honestly, I never would’ve paid for it myself seeing that I could’ve gotten the jobs I have had just by pretending to go to school.

I see so many people stress out over debt. Unless you plan to be a doctor or lawyer or something along those lines, debt will follow you for several years. I was lucky my parents were loaded, but it they weren’t, I would’ve gone to a cheap school now that I look back and see how much of my college life shaped me for my career in marketing.

Your choice really depends on what career you want to take on. Some careers require a 4-year degree, others just simply require common sense and great charisma to land a job.

Are you sure you like the course you are taking? Make sure that you’re not taking those classes just because you think you’ll earn more money. That’s one of the mistakes most people make.

Why don’t you go to a career counselor and check out what kind of job you are most suited for and what will make you the happiest. If you love your job, you’ll probably do much better and in the long run, the company you work for will pay you more for your expertise.

my brother is in a somewhat similar situation. he graduated high school a year early because he wanted to get out so badly. then he insisted on going to a “big name” college and chose purdue. at $40,000 a year, he failed out his first semester. then he took a semester off and spent another $20,000 going to a community college in hawaii. once again he failed out. now my family is screwed and over their heads in debt, he has almost no credits to his name, and he still doesn’t know what he wants to do. i know you’re not switching schools like crazy, but i tell him and i will tell you the same thing: don’t waste the money on school until you know what you want to do!! he hates school but feels like he HAS to go to college. you don’t! i went for 4 years and graduated with 2 degrees and i work at walmart and make less than i did at my high school job. if college isn’t you thing right now, don’t feel like it’s your only choice in life. you can always go back some other time. sorry this is so long! Ohhh I forgot my point : he didn’t have very good grades in high school and yet still got accepted to purdue. he failed out of there and was accepted to hawaii. he failed out of there and has been accepted to several schools again. i think if you’re willing to pay, you can go almost anywhere, no matter what.

If you retook the classes, the better grade is what will show up on transcripts. Colleges are gonna look at gpa mostly. as long as you do well, your gpa should be steady enough to transfer. talk to an advisor at your school and they’ll tell you what you need to transfer. good luck
