CC classes taken in HIGHSCHOOL > LOW GPA issues

<p>I'm in my first year at a CC... in the honors program. </p>

<p>Last quarter, I got a 3.67 in 14 units (i don't believe i deserved the B so I'm going to talk it over with the dean.. long story but might be 4.0). I took honors engl1a; got an A.</p>

<p>This quarter, I'm taking 19 units and I'm pretty certain I'll be at a 3.79. Honors english 1b: my only B.</p>

<p>BUT... my GPA is currently a 3.0 on the way to a 3.3 due to a C average from classes taken when i was 13-16 years old (damn parents).</p>

<p>Will colleges (esp. UC's.. esp. Cal & UCLA) take into consideration the fact that those grades are from my High School years??</p>

<p>yea they probably will....</p>

<p>yeah, and you can tell them on the application as well. There's a spot where you can list any extra information you want them to know.</p>

<p>This happened to me, too. Senior year I thought I'd be really cool and take classes at the CC. I ended up taking 12 units total that year, but got Bs in two of the classes. I only have one other B from my post-graduation coursework, but these two B's definitely bring down my GPA. I mentioned it in my application, and i really hope that they take it into consideration, but I think its hard to know for sure.</p>

<p>A lot of colleges won't accept CC work taken during HS. Don't know about UC. I took two classes my senior year but some of the colleges I've looked into make a point of saying, on their website, that they won't give credit for them.</p>

<p>The UC's will consider all grades while in high school, but they will also consider grade trends so hopefully it will work out for you.</p>
