this year in community college, and i was left with a 0.76, [out of 21 credits, im not dumb, i have a good excuse], im hoping to get out of there at the end of the fall 2007 semster and be at a 4 year school by that winter, and i need a 3.0 to even put myself in a catagory where I can compete with state schools
Is there anything I can do, ANYTHING, study habits, extra classes (even though i dont have the time or money) anyone who went through the same thing and came out on the other side...im really desperate, and im serious about school, not one of these losers that goes b/c their parents make them!
SERIOUS answers please!

Hey ...
First, I do not know which year of college you are in ... GPA is always cummulative ... and in that case, if you are in any year above the first, the GPA of your first years will count into your average as well ... and if you are in your first year (as i am assuming) ... I would suggest that you retake it ... It might not sound like the best idea to you at the moment ... but if you really did get a 0.76, it reflects that you maybe did not learn as much as you should have ... rather then taking extra classes and working abysmally hard (and trying to catch up to all that missed knowledge), I suggest that you re-do your first year, and then continue to work hard throughtout your academic career ... remember, knowledge always builds upon knowledge, and a having a shaky foundation is not the best of ideas ...
I believe that in some schools, they do not let you proceed to 2nd year, if your GPA is below a certain range ... I do not know if you fall in that category, but you might want to check it out :)
Good Luck! :)

I have a few suggestions:
1) take just 1 or 2 classes. Take classes you KNOW you will do well in. That will bring up your point average. I don't know if the point average will up to where you want it, but it will go up quite a bit.
2) Start studying the first day of school. If your college offers classes in study habits or offers tutors, take advantage of them!
3) Study with a buddy. You can give each other encouragement and learn together.
4) Don't wait until it's too late to get help. Ask the prof for help or suggestions right away. He/she will learn who you are and may give you the benefit of the doubt when grades are due. Knowing the student is interested and is really trying sometimes makes a difference.
good luck.

I ran the math. With the number of credits you already have taken, coupled with the number of semesters, and the time you have left, and the typical number of credits you take in a CC before transferring, you have a hopeless case. It is pretty much unachievable.
Start fresh - forget about the first 3 semesters. With a 0.76 gpa, you pretty much sucked. Take the classes over that you failed. Petition to take classes over that you received less than a C in.
Good luck. Study - no excuses.

21 credits, and a 0.76? Wow, I don't think it's possible... do you NEED a 3.0? You might need to settle for less than that...
Your only chance would be to take absolutely as many credits as you can, but get A's in like all of them... and even then...
At least you've only been at the college for 1 year...
Wait, if you're able to retake all of your classes and get A's and B's in all of them, that would do it. You wouldn't take any new classes though, I don't think, and I don't know if all colleges will allow that, but...
If that's not the case, I don't think it's possible...
Good luck...

Go back and take all those courses again so that the first grades will be dropped. You're going to have to do that anyway since most 4 yr universities will only accept transfers of a "C" or better from a Junior college.

Yes you can raise your GPA. It is not hopeless,but you will have to work hard get straight A's and add a couple of classes if possible. Don't give up! Keep cool. If your a freshman you will be okay just work hard.

sure you are able to strengthen to 3.0. 3.5 could be a stretch, yet relies upon with the aid of fact i'm no longer able to be certain your transcript. i could propose taking instructions over summer season and doing properly in those to get your GPA up. you ought to be aiming for A's in all your instructions. GPA relies upon on what share instruments you took too, so its annoying to declare what you are able to strengthen with the aid of fact i've got not got your transcript.

Sorry but you are in hopeless condition.
Alright, I'm not discouraging you, I think if I got that type of GPA I'd feel hopeless. Anyway, you should start working hard & try to get straight A's & see how that calculates.
Best of Luck.

I'm in high school and sometimes it's hard to raise your GPA. I know someone who will be able to answer this question. I'll e-mail them the question. He's a math genius, no joke.
