Applying: UC Davis (Design—TAG), UC Berkeley (Media Studies), UCSB (Communications), UCSD (Communications)
Currently wrapping up my first year at an east bay CC. Not a URM (South Asian female, immigrant but now a US citizen, neither of my parents have any American education)
IGETC: completed this semester
Major prereqs: will be completed for Davis and Berkeley in the fall, CC only offers no one prereqs for SB which I won’t be taking, and SD offers no equivalent
GPA: 4.0
ECs: ESL tutoring (4hrs/week/4months), random volunteer hours at local events, volunteering at interfaith events (~10hrs/month)
PTK member, officer, and current president, on honor roll
SPMP
Working retail on weekends, working at the local library
Pretty nervous about my current lack of major related ECs, but this is what works with my schedule and I need to save money :-/ I’m taking a summer class so no internships or anything for me.
Personal statements: I wouldn’t expect them to be stellar, I’ve only just started.
