<p>i live in Indiana and am thinking about tranferring colleges to California. i really want to go USC or UCLA. I haven't had the best grades because I had a job that i had since I graduated High school. They weren't giving me time to go to class or to do the homework. I quit in August and now I'm getting straight A's (which doesn't show on my transcript). Do you think there is a chance I can get in? If not, do you think there is a chance I will get into the California State University Los Angeles? I'm also looking into New York, but I have no idea on which college i'm interested there.</p>
<p>Here's my grades:</p>

<p>I know that my grades are terrible, but I have done a complete change and I can explain why my grades were terrible during summer 2010 because my uncle died, who was like my dad, and I could never get a hold of the teacher, though all the students had this problem. I'm taking an algebra class and journalism class and am currently getting A+ in both of them. I'm majoring in English.
SO do you think I have a chance? If i make a very very good essay, could I get in?</p>
<p>Thanks!!!!</p>
