Good grades in a community college pretty much trump everything else. The question they're asking is "Will this person be successful at MSU?" Doing well at another institution of higher learning is a pretty good argument that the answer to that question is "Yes". If you have a year's worth of solid grades, you should be ok.
No guarantees - I'm not on their admissions board or anything.

residing in Michigan, the position that is continuously Michigan or Michigan State that dozens of scholars decide on to flow to (by using relatives allegiences) i will inform you that regardless of the indisputable fact that Michigan State is way less stressful to get into than Michigan, the criteria have higher plenty those days. With the concepts you've presented, i'd not say it isn't available, you definately have a probability, yet your gpa ought to extremely harm you. at the same time as it includes searching at your gpa, universities recalculate it after pushing aside user-friendly instructions like artwork or drama or such issues as that, reducing it all the way down to the middle classe. also, some colleges make ap instructions well worth better gpa than generic instructions, making it available to get a 4.3 or in spite of, universities take that away. You definately have a probability, yet your gpa can make it considerbly better tricky to get in.

It's tough to say....your test scores and GPA are a little low, but you have a lot of other pluses in your favor. I'd say you stand a pretty decent chance, but I wouldn't say you are in for sure. You can find some admissions stats at http://admissions.msu.edu/admission/freshmen_profile.asp
Good luck!
