I am seeking advice on the colleges that I have previously attended and am attending now. I took courses at a community college out of state (I am living in Los Angeles now), did really horrible ( a 1.78 I think) took a year off and worked to save money to come here. I am doing really well and am going to apply to the UC schools, and I want to go to UC Davis. My GPA is a 3.68, am working 2 jobs, and volunteering at 2 places. I hope to raise it a 3.7. I will be taking science reqs at a university. The thing is I have a really terrible GPA from a previous school I attended, I am seriously considering omitting that information but I wouldn't be able to do it. The reason for the low GPA was because my father was suffering from cancer and I was involved with a bad crowd. I was taking drugs and severely depressed, it's really hard to think about my past but I moved here to start a new life. Especially for medical school they would be able to track every school that you attended, and I doubt I could get into a UC with previous gpa. Should I even consider applying to a UC and even thinking about going to med school?
