Most American medical schools, law schools, and business schools require basically two things, high gpa, and high standardized test score (MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, etc.) but if a student does horrible in an undergraduate school, but then leaves that school and goes to another undergraduate school and starts fresh (new gpa) and ace the appropriate standardized test, will he or she be looked at from the new school on, or will the previous bad performance at the previous school affect admissions?

If this is not a transfer situation (2 years at one school and 2 at another), then theoretically, you could simply leave the first experience out of your application altogether and submit your transcripts solely from the second school -- although you could probably expect to be asked what you'd been doing during those "missing" years. However, any grad school admissions committee is likely to look favorably on someone who has cleaned up his act, done very well at the second school, and aced the admissions test. Professors are very aware that there is such a thing as an academic late-bloomer. I've met many. Aug 07 06, 12:48 PM
