<p>I went to UCSD for one year. My first quarter I did alright, B+'s and a C or two. The next quarter I messed up on my final and failed a math course, but I passed my other two classes, but I was put on academic probation. The Spring of 2011 messed me up. I basically cracked under all the pressure of me being the first person in our family to go to college and the courses were too difficult for me to handle. I slacked off and it piled up and although I got a big grant our family had trouble paying for college. I withdrew from two of my classes and failed the other one. This left me with a terrible 1.68 UC GPA and academic disqualification.</p>
<p>I didn't appeal since I wanted to stay home for a while and straighten my priorities up. UCSD was far from home and I couldn't handle everything, it was too overwhelming for me.</p>
<p>I've been attending CC at my local ghetto college. I am in my second semester and I am retaking that class I failed last year. I'm pretty sure I will get a 4.0 this semester. Last semester I also got a 4.0 (5 classes, 13 units) and this semester I am taking 12. This brings me to a total of 59.678 units (I have many AP tests - econ, both english tests, calc bc, US history)...</p>
<p>I plan on trying to transfer to CalState when applications open up in October. I was wondering if it was possible to reapply to UCSD and get accepted and how would I do this? In just one year I felt I have matured much more and I feel more passionate about my major in engineering.</p>
<p>I took education for granted and realize I was an idiot who couldn't take the stress. Our family's financial situation is still pretty bad, but better than before.</p>
