Odds of getting into a good school?

I used to post in here around a year ago, I went quieter to focus up on classes and improving my GPA (at the time it was a 2.15, lots of work to do). I have since taken one semester of full classes and was able to get my first 4.00 semester GPA, bringing it up to a 2.75 overall.

Big question for me is that I was accepted into Arizona State University for this fall. I was considering passing on ASU and staying here for 1 more year at community college, get the grades to work up that GPA over a 3.00 and try to apply to a few better schools. What would the odds of me getting into a top 50 school maybe. Like UMich or UT or something like that? I know my GPA is low, but considering I had a bad GPA before, took a year off of school and come back and have 2 semesters of real good grades, would that help at all or am I putting too much into just 2 semesters?

Not sure if you are trolling or not but just in case you aren't, you basically have zero chance at a top 50 school with a 3.0 gpa, especially since the grades you earned for improving to a 3.0 were from a community college.

No chance for a Top 50 and staying at a CC to work on GPA will not be in your favor.

Take the acceptance to ASU. Proving you can handle rigors of a four year university vs a CC is always better (although up to you to make the grades happen).

Do you mean get into a top 50 to finish your undergrad, or top 50 medical school? Because if it's the latter, the A's at a community college would not really help (unless you get like a 520+ on your MCAT, and even then).
