<p>Hello,</p>
<p>This past year I started going back to school, the last time I was enrolled was in 2010. I am currently 24 years old..
I had to drop out due to my mom getting Ill(cancer), not being able to work, and getting terminated after she recovered. I had to work more hours at my job to be able to pay the bills/rent - luckily, I hold a higher level position now. I'm currently a district manager for a retail company. The reason I'm going back to school is not in attempt to make more money, rather it's to get the education I've always wanted to.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, during the time my mom was sick I still did attempt to go to school which resulted in 3 w's and 2 f's. (The f's are now academic renewals.)</p>
<p>My question is, what are my chances of me getting into ucla or Berkeley as an Econ major? I know it's a very hard major to get accepted into those schools for - is there any extra curricular I should do? I work 45-60 hours a week, so I can't dedicate too much time to volunteering, interning, etc.. I've maintained straight A's since I've been back in school, resulting in 9 A's and 3 B's(b's are from 2009 fall) so far on my transcript. Are there any success stories when someone went back to school around my age and getting accepted to one of these schools? As an Econ major?</p>
<p>Any help or advice is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.</p>
