I have a bad overall GPA right now. I had one D last semester in algebra 2 and another D from my Junior year in geometry. If I go to a community college that has a transfer program to UCLA or UC Berk, is there a chance they might reject me because of my grades from high school or will they consider me?
If I do continue the community college route, I plan to push myself
I had a 2.8 GPA from Junior year (one AP class)
I currently have a 3.0 GPA for my Senior year (one AP, one Honors and one Advanced)
I need to make a quick decision because if I know for sure I can't get into UCLA to Berk, I'm going to a 4-year school in SF State. Please give me something to think about.

Community College is the best option if your GPA is not the greatest. They will look at your High School grades, but they will concentrate more on your Community College first. They do this to see if you have improved since you left High School. Also, most Community College credits will transfer. Not all of them. So, to answer your questions, going to Community College is better than not going at all. The school will ask you what you did during the break. To avoid that question, just stay in school.

Usually when a community college has a transfer agreement with a 4-year school, all you have to do is get a certain GPA and you're automatically accepted. But you should check with the community college and the UC admissions, just to be sure.

I know someone with a 3.4 GPA in highschool with no AP and only 1 honors class. He applied himself in community college and eventually got accepted to UCLA and UCB.
He started a website to help others do the same, you can check it out at www.transfertohaas.piczo.com
It's still possible for you to get in to UCLA and UC Berkeley, so don't give up. Good luck!!!!

Once you do at least 2 years in any other school including junior college the new school you apply to usually considers the grades from there and not High School.

if you want to transfer, colleges only look at your college grades.
