If you are intent on running the risk, obviously nothing we say on this board will stop you.

Here’s an alternative – attend a community college out here for two years, and transfer into a four-year. Community colleges (at least in CA) typically let everybody in no matter what their GPA is. The state of CA, however, is facing serious budget issues, and the community colleges are threatening to cut statewide enrollment by 400,000 students (back to 2001 levels), which means they may start looking at the GPAs of applicants, but it will not be on the level of trying to get into a UC or CSU.

Bottom line, if you want to attend a US college, apply to community colleges and work your way up to a four-year institution. I think you’re safe reporting your academic record to them and not having to worry about it, and keep in mind that four-year schools like to see improvement.
