answer:Many props to you for going back to school/making efforts to over come what seemingly sounded like a dark period in your life. I was told by many that there is no way I could go/get into a college/university without taking the SAT. However, somehow currently I’m a junior in a university. I started out at a community college and my grades transferred from there to the university that I’m in now. Point being, while there are certain standards you may have to hold to get into college, as long as you’re able to prove that you’re someone who belongs in a college, chances are you’ll end up in one. I dont know if there’s a way to “wipe your slate clean” but I highly doubt you’re “doomed”, so to say. Perhaps you could start fresh at your current community college and transfer those grades somewhere else, without ever transferring your transcripts from your previous university? Either way, whether it turns out you’re genuinely starting fresh or that you’ll have to just correct your errors in the past, what’s important is that you do well now and stay consistent. If you could do that much, you should have nothing to worry about.
