Advice for future applicants: if you get good grades in the winter session, even though you update the fall grades during January, make sure you report the winter grades on TAP too, you have until the end of March to do this, this may change the decision from no to yes. If you get bad grades in the winter, dont update your academic history until the result comes out.

CCCC local transfer

GPA: 3.73 (Academic Turnaround with 1 F/C/B- 11 years ago, all A’s since returning to school in 2013 w/ exception one B in summer Calc II)
Major: Chemical Engineering
Applied: Berkeley

All major prereqs completed including recommended.

Extracurriculars: Biology/Math/Chemistry tutor in STEM center at CC and as a private tutor, lead Statistics tutor for Math prep program, Supplemental Instruction Leader for both semesters Organic Chemistry, Fundraising Chair on daughter’s co-op preschool board, Lead Presenter at Expanding Your Horizons Math/Science conference for young girls, Dean’s List multiple semesters, Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society, CC Honors Transfer program, plus I am a parent to two children one of whom has severe special needs which I discussed in my personal statements.

NOTE: I was rejected last year. I was missing a second semester of English (thought an English class from many years ago articulated, it did not. Plus over the past year since that rejection I took Materials Engineering, Circuits + Lab, as well as Cell Biology to fulfill BIOL1A which is the only class listed on my conditions of admission that I need a B in so they most definitely care about that pre-req for ChemE majors).

Hope that helps anyone else in the future!
