Chance Me Please! (UCLA, UC Berkeley, Stanford, USC, UCSB)

Hello All,

Please chance me so I know what to expect.

About me: 22. Hispanic on paper (really white and Mexican). First generation college student. Low income (family makes less than $45k per year in Silicon Valley). I work in IT at a major tech company and attend school full-time.

Major: Political Science
Current UC GPA: 3.35
Overall: 3.43

I’m getting all A’s right now during this Fall semester so my UC GPA should move up to 3.44.

Applying to UCLA, UC Berkeley, Stanford, USC, UCSB (TAG sumbitted for UCSB).

Best,
Bondraper408

By the way, I am inside UC Berkeley’s TAP program.

You need to lower your expectation significantly!
Consider low tier UCs as possibility.

@beepybeetle lol no need to be snarky. That kid got in, so good for him. If you have nothing constructive to say, you can jolly well keep it to yourself.

@Harvardbound2017 Welcome to collegeconfidential.

Nah not all people on college confidential are so unnecessarily snarky. :slight_smile: And just because everyone else on this site is like that doesn’t mean you have to be lol.
