You should.  You begin a new GPA at the new school. So your low GPA will not effect the GPA of your new school. They may not let all your credits transfer due to low grades, but you will get credit for the ones that do transfer without the hassle of the old GPA bringing you down.  Yes, those grades will always be on your transcript, but at least you have a chance for a fresh start at a higher GPA.

Kind of. If you have been out of college for 5 years some colleges allow a forgiveness. This means that all of your grades are gone, including the good and the bad. Check with your schools admission office to see if they offer it there. And yes you can not tell anyone that you attended a certain school but it can come back later to bite you in the butt. Good luck!

No - you will be fine.  \n\nThey look at your progress over the entire 4 years, not just one grade given in your senior year.  A 3.7 is fantastic, they won't care.\n\nI had a 2.7 and I still got into college and did very well.  I graduated with a 3.5!

Going strictly by the numbers, overall GPA counts but also the GPA in the last year or two.  If it is above the overall average that will help.  We understand that it often takes a year to get on track and grades may suffer a little.  Also, the last year or two is focused on the meat of the degree.  If you demonstrate competence in those courses, it is a positive.  It's assumed that graduate courses will be more focused in the degree discipline and less so on general education requirements where your GPA may have been lower.

depending on the school you went to,the GPA is not bad. Georgia Tech students with 2.5 still get jobs and still get scholarships and I know repeating a course is common for them

It depends on the rest of your grades and the time table of your school.\n\nIf you can drop it without penalty and the other grades you have are good - I would.\n\nIf you drop it and are being penalized for it - think about it carefully depending on the penalty.\n\nIf all your grades are bad, well... keep it and try again later.  Just make sure you go to class and do the work.  If you need help, most colleges offer tutoring of some sort - take advantage of it.

The one thing they look closely at is your academic achievements. If your grade aren't so good, then they will figure that your chance of doing well aren't so good either, and you will wind up with a rejection slip.The ACT, or SAT score will be the the other deciding factor, if you get into a certain college. Even the state universities, which use to accept all state resident, even those with poor academic preparation for college, are not raising the standards for admission, and also the standards for staying in.

Your school records are for your school so your transcript is going to be kept so long as your school can but if you want it for college admission,call your school to make arrangement for that.But remember that you'll have the original but your school will always have copies of them.When you misplace it, go back for another copy.

I recommend withdrawing, however, this actually depends somewhat on your current GPA.  If it's really high, failing may actually be the better option for you - financially, anyway.  Your transcript will be less pretty, but if you can fail all your classes this semester and still keep your GPA around a 2.5 or better, then this may be the better route to take.  However, if it's going to bring it down to a less than a 2.5, withdraw from the classes.  It will cost you far more in the long run to graduate with less than a 3.0 (as far as job opportunities and salaries go), and it would be very difficult to bring it back up after such a disastrous semester - also, you run the risk of being suspended if it runs too low, which usually means no more financial aid until you can bring it back up, and you have to sit out at least one semester.

Honestly, I do not think that a gpa of 3.7 is bad at all.. Especially if your in all honor classes!

A 3.5 GPA is probably way too low for most applicants to get in.  Remember, the average GPA and SAT numbers are generally lower than what is required for most applicants to have a realistic chance of getting in to these type of schools (unless you're in a special situation that offers some advantage).  The average GPA and SAT numbers for these schools is dragged down by athletes, legacies, those with connections, etc.  I would say for someone without any specific admission advantage, a 3.8 GPA and 1500 SAT or higher is more realistic to be competitive.  Class rank may be more applicable than GPA as well.  My brother had a 3.8 GPA, 1570 SAT's, and was a collegiate caliber track athlete and got rejected from MIT.

If they drop substantially, they probably can "rescind" your acceptance at that college.\n\nBut we're also talking at least a one point overall drop in GPA really.  Otherwise, you might get put on "academic probation" where you need to maintain certain grades in college to continue being enrolled.

If you took (or take) higher level math courses and perform well on them then the D should not affect you at any college that will accept a 3.8 GPA (nearly all of them!).  Many colleges have a section on their applications for providing additional information.  If you have a legitimate reason for performing poorly that semester then write it there--but don't make it sound like you are making up excuses.  Definitely point out the better grades that were earned later on.\n\nI had a couple Ds my freshman year of high school (including one in Geometry 1st semester) because I switched schools 3 weeks before 1st semester ended and the new school's curriculum was totally different and I bombed the finals.  I was still accepted to several excellent top-level schools, including one Ivy League school with a full scholarship.

Well, I think that you should be able to email the University.  This is more difficult because the website does not list a form to download or one to fill out online for transcript requests.  Good luck!  I hope that this helps.  The links are to your school.

I would probably drop the class if the best I could hope for was a C and I needed a B average to transfer with.  Of course, if you already have a gpa that is significantly above 3.0 you might be able to handle the C without it affecting your gpa too much.  Whether you can manage a 95% on the final might well depend on how difficult the class is..and I would venture to say that if you are struggling with it now..the chances are that you won't manage the 95%.  Look at it this way, the best you can possibly hope to achieve is a C in this class...and it is likely that you won't get it.  I assume that this is not the only class you are taking so therefore you will have other finals to worry about too. Studying for this course enough to get the C might well impact your other courses too.\n\nWill the C hurt you more than just dropping the class...that would specifically depend on what your gpa is now..as i said before if it is well above 3.0 it should not have much of an effect, but if it is right at 3.0 or below, then a C certainly will have a negative impact on it....you would require a B to retain a 3.0 gpa and an A to bring it up..\n\nSo theoretically speaking..your best chances probably lie with dropping the course...

GO to the junior college for a semester, or just get your associates and then transfer to the UC you want. Your grades will be better at a junior college and its an easier transition for young people then just running off to the university and screwing around (wasting money) for the first two years. I wish I had done this, my overall gpa when i graduated would have been much higher.

No. Even if your SAT/ACT scores are high and you have a lot of extracurricular activities, a college will read your GPA and believe that you are too unmotivated or lack self-discipline to go into a four year college situation. Remember that their reputation is on the line and that they don't like to take chances with that. Your best bet is to go into a local community college and work your a$$ off. After graduating with a two-year degree, you can then transfer to a good school when your GPA is up to par.
