Hey guys just going to start off with a basis on who I am.
I’m a fellow junior in high school that plans to enter community college (Mt Sac) once senior year is over. My GPA is not great (3.0-3.2) and my extracurriculars are small so most UCs are probably going to end up rejecting me. I do not want to enter UCR or any of the considered lower tiers of UC, I wish to be within the higher ones such as UCLA or UCB. I have nothing against any UCs just that it is part of my goal to get into UCB or UCLA. Here are some information on what classes i have taken and my thoughts on the AP exams.
Classes (Not sure which one gives me credit):
AP Calculus AB (probably going to get a 4/5)
AP US History (Hoping for a 3)
AP Chemistry (Praying for a 3, probably going to get a 2 or lower…)
AP Comp Sci (3-4)
AP Lang (3-5)
AP Euro (earned a 3)
I am not going to go into detail about my grades since I am already planning to take CC and transfer to UC. Again my weighted GPA is from the ranges (3.0 - 3.2) so I basically had awful grades with the AP credits boosting my GPA.
Goals: I wish to major in computer science or economics in the UCB or UCLA. Now comes the question how I would be able to reach them and what classes or programs I should take into consideration while my time in CC. I know I screwed up because I was a slacker, but now I know it will be different.
