Even wiping out a few f's will greatly help your GPA (spoken from someone who had a similar experience although not bad enough to get kicked out).

Yes very true. I did retake some of my F's and turn them to A's and my GPA jumped big time. I had a 1.8 at one time and by retaking got it to 3.0 right now.

I could theoretically retake the classes, but many of them are Computer Science and Math classes that don't really mean a thing to me now. They wouldn't even count as General Education credits. I am planning on retaking a few of the actual Gen Ed classes (one of them isn't offered anymore so I can't do that one).
