In reading this thread, I find myself with several questions, and an inability to suggest anything given how much I don’t know.
What do you want to study in university? Why do you want to attend university? How did you get a 2.52 GPA?
To me a GPA of 2.52 suggests that either university just isn’t for you, or you were not trying very hard, or you were fairly seriously distracted by other events when you were in community college. There are a lot of alternative paths in life that do not require a university degree, and the majority of Americans never get a 4 year bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
