Transferring, but screwed up first year.

A 2.4 is recoverable! Take a year or two more at your CC and get that gpa up with buffer classes (UC’s like upward trends).

As far as completely starting over, you won’t be able to do that. When you get to UC you have a clean slate, but if you plan on applying to grad schood, med school, law school, etc they look at your transcripts from both CC and UC.

I think you’ll be fine long term. Plus a story of how you went from a 2.4 to a 3.7 makes for a really good personal statement.

Good luck to you.
