I recently failed my third semester at a fairly prestigious 4-year school due to a number of reasons. Now I am applying to a community college as a matriculated student (yes, I am enrolling in an AS degree program) and hoping to transfer to a new 4-year school for the fall or next spring.

But before I do this, do I need to withdraw from my current 4-year school? I am currently on leave of absence at this school. Basically what I want to do is start over completely as a freshman (by applying to this CC as a freshman) and wipe out my bad college record, but is this OK?
