My boyfriend had pretty much the same experience as you. When he first went to community college his lack of motivation earned him a pretty low GPA. Suddenly, he decided to get back on track and began earning straight A’s his last couple of semesters. While he didn’t get into his UCLA program (which was impacted), he did end up getting into Berkeley. Keep your hopes up! They like to see improvement since it tells them that you have matured.

Also, see if any of those early classes are up for academic renewal. The grade would show as a Z, but wouldn’t affect your GPA.
