GPA question

Right when I got out of Highschool, I was not focus on my studies. I started at a community College my first year, then transfer to a 4yrs university. However, when I attended the community college, half of my grades are F, some C, and some B. Then at the 4yr university, it was even worst. I sign up for classes, went for a few lectures, and never came back. So to make the long story short, I drop out. About 3 years later, I finally got my life together, and decided to go back to school. I'm currently attending the same community college for about 2 semesters now. I manage to retake the classes I got Fs in and replace all with As. I also retook some of my classes with C and replace them with As. My Gpa is about 3.0 right now, because I still have about 3 Cs and 3Bs. The 4yr university I was attending was University of Houston, and they said if I transfer my classes I took at the community College, it just count as If I took the course and not add to my overall UOH Gpa. Since It was only about 4yrs ago that I drop out of UOH, all the classes I sign up at UOH and fell still stand right? So there is no Fresh start? Would it be better to transfer to another university instead? I guess my even bigger concern is when I apply for optometry school, do they average the grades of the community college with the grades at the 4yr university for your overall GPA? Also what about the courses , that I've retaken, do the optometry school only count the highest grade or do they average those also? I really want to start my life over and do well. I just hope it's not too late....I guess the reason I am asking is because I need to know should I even bother retaken those classes that I still have left with Cs? So any advice would help. Anyways Thanks you in advance for your time.

those transcripts will follow you whereever you go. you can ride, but not hide.

gpa does not figure in when transferring, but those transcripts and marks come over.

bottom line: earn a's and b's and then get a masters to enhance not only your learning but also your chances.

its really competitive now. better have cumultative for past 60 credits at least a 3.4. if not, get an m.s.

if you cant do science as an undergrad, how to do it as an o.d., etc., student?
that is their rationale. medical cirriculums are hard, with about 20 science credits per quarter.

dont retake those classes with c's. waste of time. o.d. programs care deeply about the last 60 credits, the cumulative, the upward trend in gpa, etc. better apply to nova or new england or peurto rico.
