By the way, my daughter had a similar issue but in reverse. Freshman grades were NOT good, but she came home her sophomore year, took classes at a CC and had a great GPA (combination of much easier classes and much better study habits).

When she transferred to her current school and filled out the recruitment paperwork she put an asterisk in the GPA box and said, "See attached letter". She wrote a letter that she made sure (she called the Greek life office several times - to the point that I'm sure they were getting a little annoyed), was attached to her application. She stated in it what her GPA was at her CC.

She also stated the cumulative GPA (freshman year and CC) that appeared on her transcript because as Barbie's Rush stated - they are going to see it anyway, but she used the letter to emphasize her better GPA from the CC and talk about what she had done to change as a student. I have no idea how much that helped her and I don't know if it would help in your case - just a suggestion.
