<p>I did really bad at one public 4yr university (I got credit for 3 courses during the summer, but took 9 courses in the fall and failed all of them and forgot to drop out…) This was four years ago. </p>
<p>Recently I reapplied and got accepted to the same university under probation status. My GPA is 0.9 … Now I want to continue the path but go for a different major instead. I talked to the advisor for the major I am trying to go into and they will not approve me to take any courses until and unless I bring my GPA up to a 2.25 standard… So at this university I will have to waste an entire Fall semester to take easy courses to bring up my GPA…</p>
<p>My question is, I am also applying to OTHER 4yr universities around the area (I’m in northern Texas /DFW area…) if I sumbit my transcripts from all the schools including the university that I messed up big time at will the F’s carry over or will they simply not transfer over and I can start from scratch and get right into the major I am aimming for without having to take a extra semester to bring up my GPA?</p>
<p>"go to community college, bring ur gpa up to a 4.0, then apply to Ivy league, u have nothing to lose, just time "</p>
<ul>
<li>you joking right? even crappy universities like UT/ UTA/UNT/UTD in my area won’t accept the high GPA I have from communities colleges (which in my case ARE already 4.0!!!) so how could “Ivy League” accept me! </li>
</ul>
<p>Anyone can answer my original question please?!</p>
<p>Your grades will not carry over to your new university. My big question is what 4 year school is going to accept someone with a 0.9 with no evidence of any education/grades since then. I highly recommend you to go to a community college - get a 4.0 for 2 semesters and then reapply. Your options will be much better. College admissions will see that you have an upward trend. Be prepared to explain what led to your troubles before and what changes you made since then to make your grades increase dramatically.</p>
<p>To answer your question, with a slim chance you do get accepted, your prior grades won’t carry over to your current school when you apply to their specific programs but when you apply to grad schools, your old GPA’s from your prior schools will be factored in.</p>
<p>I agree with everyone else. Go to CC and bang out a couple 4.0 semesters and go to town on EC’s/volunteer/community involvement to show you’re dedicated and motivated to go a big 4 year.</p>
