Improved college courses considered good or bad?

I’m not sure you have the option to completely redo college as if you didn’t take any classes the first time. If you are planning on transferring, most graduate schools require transcripts from all schools attended to avoid exactly this kind of thing. If your school does grade replacement, a lot of schools still display the old grades on your transcript because graduate schools are interested in this kind of thing.

If you are truly in a system where you can start over with zero trace of your original try at college, that would of course be better - it’s definitely better to have performed well all along than it is to perform poorly and get better. But that would be a highly unusual situation, and I would triple check that this option is what you think it is before you redo an entire year.
