But most college applications require an essay, which can be a good place to explain why your GPA was low in high school, if there was a compelling reason. In addition to an improvement in CC GPA and if retaken, higher SAT/ACT scores, you have a very good chance at getting admitted! Another great tip is to go to a community college that has a pathway relationship with your target university. For instance, if you are in California and want to transfer to a top UC like Berkeley or UCLA, studying at a CC recognized by these schools will significantly enhance your admission rate. Good luck!
