Overcoming a bad GPA

[lawqueen04]

I can sympathize with you. Out of high school I had been accepted to a pretty high ranked private school in CT. I was overjoyed because I wanted to go there but once there..being away from my family, laziness, feeling lost, not loving it the way I thought I would I flunked out the first semester. I was taking 5 class 15 credits and I received 5Fs. I also signed up for pep band which was a 1 credit class and I received an A in that class.shocked, I had been dismissed and had to come back home. I then started school the next fall at my local community college. I did much better and recieved a few As and B+s and even a C+ in Physics. But even with all of those Fs my GPA is about a 2.7 and I still have half my degree to finish and raise my gpa. I really wanted to test out (faster and cheaper) but I want to raise the GPA more.

I chatted with an admissions person at TESC and asked about the transcript, if it would be required because I would love to forget about it but I was told that unless the transcript is complete w's I would have to forward it to them. In my opinion with some work I can absolutely raise my cumulative gpa so why would I chance getting caught lying if I can still raise it to a respect abpe number.
