How to reset my grades

I really don’t believe this is possible. I know that if you fail a class or withdraw, often times community colleges will often let you re-take a course and “forgive” the bad grade and that a number of universities will recognize the new grade. However, there are places (I know USC is one) that doesn’t honor grade forgiveness and they will count both grades toward your GPA. I mean you could always start at a different community college and completely lie about ever having attended your current one, but I’m sure there are several ways for the university to find out such as the National Student Clearing House of transcripts and this would seriously jeopardize your future at your newly transferred university if they found out. I had been to six community colleges and I made sure to send in my transcripts for every single one (even though I sure wanted to leave out my grades of a W and B at one)

And honestly, your GPA isn’t by any means terrible. I had a 4.0 GPA and was literally rejected from just about every school I had applied for - I didn’t even get into my safety school, CSULB. I applied again the next year with a lower GPA and was then accepted to every school that had rejected me the year before. I would also give USC a shot if it’s not on your list. I’ve seen people with 2.5 GPA’s get into their business school and other amazing success stories.
