<p>its weird how only one class was affected by your illness</p>

3

<p>that was probably his most demanding class of the semester though.</p>

<p>I doubt the UCs would like excuses and complaints. You don't need to provide a reason for why you got a C in 1 class out of many you had taken</p>

<p>I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with the previous statement--the UC's will always have an open ear to an applicants grievances...with that said I would just explain it in the small blurb they give you in the application after each quarter, rather than making it the subject of a personal statement. </p>

<p>Did you complete all of your coursework at the JC level, or are some of those classes that you listed from USAFA?</p>

<p>It looks like you have completed all the prereqs...make sure you complete the 60 semester minimum unit requirement. </p>

<p>With all that said, if you can try and bump your GPA above a 3.8 after this quarter, it will significantly improve your chances for UCLA and UCB. You can probably consider the other schools you listed as safety schools. Also make sure your personal statements kick ass.</p>

<p>Yes calc 2 was my hardest class and I got way behind in it because the teacher wouldnt give me any slack whatsoever. Its really frustrating.</p>

<p>But yes all of those classes listed are from my JC college i've already finished my personnel statements and will include my illness in part 3 of the statement. Im trying to get my 3.8 right now but that C is killing it for me...hopefully they'll understand. thanks</p>
