Chance me plz... unorthodox app :)

<p>So, im 24 years old, and took more than a few years off of school. Back when i was 18/19 I had a 2.5ish GPA with like 6 W's attending 1 semester at an university in Lousiana and the rest at DVC(a top CC in cali)</p>

<p>I took AP calc AB in HS and got a 3 on the exam.</p>

<p>I started school again last year and I have 4.0s every semester. I work full time and have been working fulltime since i was 18.</p>

<p>My personal statements are 9/10-10/10 material. </p>

<p>My Major is Business Econ. (econ for berkeley) I signed my TAG with Davis and Irvine so im looking for chances of UCLA, UCB, and UCSD.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Cum GPA of 3.51
4.0 ever since returning to school full time last year
4.0 in all my major pre req classes</p>

<p>Work Full time for the past 6 years.
Currently working at a bank as a PB2 for the past year
Have my real estate Lic. for 3 years
Award for best sales at work in 2007.</p>

<p>Bunch of awards and EC in HS for sports and piano.
Currenty Captian of club hockey team in Oakland</p>

<p>Math Tutor for HS this year - only community service i have :(</p>

<p>Attended STOMP at UCLA a couple times.</p>

<p>I am Persian, Born in America, Parents from Iran.
Both parents graduated from 4 yr schools in America.</p>

<p>IGETC completed after this semester. So what are my chances?? LOL :P</p>

<p>pretty damn good id say. probably should have applied for Has at berkeley, very likely to get in with those stats.
i applied to the same majors as you but I've achieved way less. then again I'm only 19 :P</p>

<p>wow... that was quick! lol... yeah i was thinking about Haas, but thern again, i wanted the BEST chace to get into UCB, plus i LOVE econ. :) I plan on getting my MBA so maybe Haas is for my for grad school...</p>

<p>keep them coming guys! i dont think i canw ait until april! lol</p>

<p>thx for the reply! hope you get into UCB alex! :)</p>

<p>I'd say that UCSD is close to a lock. I think you probably have completed the TAG requirements for SD, so that plus IGETC should get you in. At UCLA, I would say you have a chance, but not a great one. Your GPA is substantially lower than the average biz/econ acceptee, but you also probably have better "soft" factors than most applicants, if what you say is true. I would say that you have a chance that is less than 50%, but greater than 10%. I won't try to get more specific than that, because it would just be uninformed speculation. I would have a similar opinion of your Berkeley chances, as Berkeley is a slightly more selective school than LA, but LA's Biz/Econ is a more competitive major than Berkeley's econ, so it approximately balances out.</p>

<p>Hot damn, thought I was the only Persian on college confidential.</p>

<p>salam khobee beardy???? haha</p>

<p>thx magic.. My dream school has always been UCLA, and i know for the buz econ major i need around a 3.8</p>

<p>I was hoping, since i am a little older, more mature, really focused and dedicated would push me over the hump. My upward trend in my grades is something else i really hoped they would take into consideration. All my Cs and Bs are all in BS classes like speech, sign language admin. justice.</p>

<p>All my Econ, Calc, Accouting, business computer, higher english classes i have As.</p>

<p>anymore??? :D</p>
