Hello Guys,
I’m applying this Fall for transfer Fall 2018. I’m applying to almost all UC’s bust UCLA and UC Berkeley are my top picks:
Major: Psychobiology (Pre-Med)
Transferable GPA: 3.49 (3.58 with 4.0 Fall 2017)
IGETC: Complete in Fall 2017
TAP: Yes
Will be receiving Health Sciences A.A., Chemistry A.A., Chemistry A.S., Biological Sciences A.S., Physical Sciences A.A. and Social & Behavioral Sciences Emphasis A.A.
Work:
- Currently a Pharmacy Technician at CVS for one year
- Worked as an Embedded Biology Tutor in Spring 2017
- Worked at In-N-Out Burger for 1.5 years
- Licensed Pharmacy Technician and Emergency Medical Technician
- Certified Phlebotomy Technician and ECG Technician
- Certified in Patient Care from UCLA Field School of Public Health
ECs:
- Honors Program
- Student Ambassador 17-18
- President of Pre-Medical Society
- Phi Thetta Kappa, Psi Beta, and Pharmacy and Health Sciences Club Member
- Health Scholar (Volunteer) at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Newport Beach
- Four research publications, and I am working on to be submitted to a Microbio journal by the end of the year and also working on another to be submitted to a Biopsych/psych journal next Spring
My concern lies mostly with my GPA. Also, I’ve contacted admissions regarding this, but it is highly likely I won’t be able to finish the Physics series at my CCC. So I will be applying with one of my major preparatory courses incomplete. I don’t know how much impact this will have on my application, but it worries me given that my GPA isn’t on the higher end either. Luckily I will be completing IGETC as well as the Honors Program which has TAP. Let me know what you guys think! Thank you so much.
