<p>anyone here go to san joaquin delta college?</p>
<p>@Vikram Any honor society or some honor’s program? Like extra work to get some “connections”?
And I would say the absence of the pre-reqs will pull you down. If the school allows you to switch majors once you get admitted, then do what you can to get in first, then just switch. I think you just have to talk to them anyways.</p>
<p>Vikram you should check out last years stats of people being accepted to UCD. I’m sure 2012 will have similar stats. Don’t apply as psych because you’ll probably get rejected. Apply with a major that you’ve taken a ton of classes in.</p>
<p>I have the most of my classes in Psych BUT I can see if it overlaps with something else. Like sociology. I’m sure I have a good chance with Sociology though!</p>
<p>Sociology is a good major! But idk about the Sociology department at UCD. Impacted or not? Call and ask.</p>

<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I was wondering if a 4.0 is basically a guaranteed admission at Berkeley or not at all?</p>
<p>I’m applying as a chemical engineering major, the only (non-strict) pre-req I’ll be missing is organic chemistry LAB (I’m taking just the lecture), and I’ll also be IGETC certified, not that it matters for UCB but I hope it’s a plus, if only to show the ability to handle a heavier workload and still get all As.
Do 4.0s get turned down if they don’t have great ECs?
Also I’m international.</p>
<p>I posted mines a while ago. I also want more people to chance me xp</p>

<p>@Tall: what are the chances of you getting a 3.3 by the end of fall?</p>
<p>TaLL, i will chance you in the AM :)</p>
<p>Great chance of getting a 3.3! This quarter my grades will most likely be good, next two quarters it’s a very low work load so probably A’s B+s as well!</p>
<p>TaLL, do you have AIM or Facebook?</p>
<p>yeah get on AIM my AIM is displayed on the side too</p>
<p>OH 3.3 by end of fall, i’d have to calculate it, but with 10 units i’ll probably get all 3 As</p>
<p>Remember that the Fall semester is most likely the last chance you’ll get to improve the GPA that you’ll present towards those college. I am currently at a 3.09 and I’m taking 27 units between two schools in hopes of getting some boost, even though i can only really get 3’38 even if I get all A’s in 27 units. </p>
<p>That’s why I’m relying on TAP too and hoping that linguistics is not that competitive this time.</p>
