<p>Hey everyone I am currently a student at a community college in California.</p>

In spring I will take the others courses- Mangerial Accounting, one more sem. of Biology, other GE's</p>

<p>I will be applying next year, and have already startign working on a personal statement and made some really good progress, and will start on the supplements early as well, so they should be really good hopefully.</p>

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I think you’ve got a great chance! The only blotch on your application would be your HS GPA, so I would simply recommend explaining why that is what it is, and you should be golden for most of those colleges. This is just my opinion, so don’t hunt me down if you’re rejected from some of those, but I’m also a business transfer applicant. You’re lucky you can afford all those schools!</p>

<p>Keep up the good work and best of luck!</p>

<p>If you apply to all of those schools, you’ll probably get into at least one or two. Good luck!</p>
