Hello everyone.
When I was in High school (Junior), I took a bio class at a community college. Needless to say, it was summer and I recieved a C.
Flash forward to college. My freshman college year, my mother called the school, sent in the transcript w/ the bio class and, voilà! My GPA was brought from a 3.97..to a 3.65!
Anyway, I was wondering if there is anyway to contact the school and fix this. I mean, my mother did call in w/o my consent, sent the a grade I recieved THREE YEARS ago!

Can I remove it? I am a College soph.

When you apply for a transfer, you are required to send in transcripts from all college courses you have taken. There's no way to 'fix' this because sending the transcript was the correct thing to do. To check if an applicant has sent in all previous transcripts, colleges look here:

National Student Clearinghouse: Degree verification & enrollment verification

I don't know why your mom would send that in!!! but still, I think one would understand you took the class while in high school; some people mature a lot academically from high school to college.

Anyway, I was 17 at the time of my college enrollment, technically a minor, so I suppose she felt it was the helpful thing to do? I am unsure.

You took the class when you were in high school, but you did indeed earn that grade in a college course. For the rest of your life, whenever you apply for admission to a degree or certificate program offered by an accredited college or university in the US, you will need to have an official copy of the transcript sent. What the institution that you are applying to decides to do with that one particular grade for that one particular course is up to that institution. You still have to send the transcript.

It is interesting that your second college not only recorded the course as as a transfer credit, but that they also recorded the grade as though earned there. Many don't include grades from transferred courses in the GPA. You may want to pop by the registrar's office and find out the details of their policies.

I compared my Bio class from my CC to Stanford and UCLA and the content was the same but the community college had fewer students not a big lecture hall of 300-500 students.
The myth that getting a 4.0 in a CC is not true, 123freeup you have live it and you know it.
I can't deny that there are really crappy classes in CC's but at least in the one I went some of the classes where really demanding.

-By the way you can check the syllabus and recorded lectures from Stanford,UCLA and other top universities on Google or Youtube. True story, some community college classes are the level of Ivies or top tier universities.
