So I’m preparing my TAP, as I’m looking to transfer into a UC after much thought. These are my stats so far. I’m honestly not thrilled about my GPA. I did poorly for about 3 semesters because I was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy and radiation for a year. I’m currently rocking it this semester and I have a good feeling I’m going to finish with a 4.0 this semester. I calculated that if I get A’s during Fall 2018 and Spring 2019, I should have an overall 3.23 GPA and 3.32 GPA that is Assist Certified. My biggest concern is that I will not qualify for TAG, due to my high number of units~ I’ve been in CC since 2013. I really hope I get accepted to UCSB as an English major and can somehow sway the admissions people with my cancer story and personal stories that I can weave into explaining my crappy GPA. I currently work two jobs and I’ll be interviewing for my third job ASAP. I have 100+ hours of community service and both of my jobs are through a school district working with students via AVID and I work at a retail store. I’m planning in joining the Associated Student Government at my CC and joining two clubs this upcoming week. Can someone tell me that I have hope in being accepted somewhere :((
