My current overall undergrad gpa is 2.715

I just worked out some figures and it appears as though by retaking the following courses at the local junior college and replacing my transcript with them I will be over and overall gpa of 3.0:

micro econ
macro econ
sociology
pre calc math
calculus
managerial acctg
spanish 2


I had gotten C's in all those courses except for calculus which i've never taken. If I get A's in all of them I'll be at a 3.03 GPA overall.

Will that influence admissions very much? Or should I just focus on quant courses only and drop sociology and spanish? Even though this will leave me under a 3.0 overall?

Also, I'm taking about 18 units worth of accounting courses for my cpa requirements. I don't think its transferable though, not sure...

I'm doing it through UCLA's online extension program.

What would be the best way to present an alternative transcript or a "modified transcript" after having replaced old C's I had gotten with A's?

By the way most of my C's were in junior college so it will appear as a slight downward trend if they were replaced. I've heard its better to have an upward trend.

What are your thoughts?

GPA is my weakest area and I'm looking for the best plan for correcting it.

Taking the additional courses will NOT replace, erase or in any way take away the fact that your old transcript is what it is. This is what taking the courses can do:
1) show that you are serious about academics, that you have matured since college
2) show that you have identified a weakness (are self aware) and are trying to address it
3) show that you can multi-task - juggle work with academics
4) show that you have the skills to do well in these courses
5) highlight quantitative aptitude

I do not discourage you from taking a few classes (3 would be the max I would recommend), but I do not want you to think that you can create a new transcript. I am hearing this word "alternate transcript" a lot and it is misleading.

Good luck to you!
