Hi all,
This is my first post on College Confidential. Was hoping y’all could help me figure out if I’ll get into Davis for Fall 2017.
AAs: Psychology + Sociology (Completed)
Major: Psychology
TAG: No
UC Transferable GPA: 3.77
Overall GPA: 3.2
IGETC: Completed
Major Prep: Completed
EC: Student Gov (2 Years): Executive Officer + Event Planning Chair // PTK Honor Society (2 Years) // 2017 Commencement Student Speaker // Psychology Club President (1 year) // Honors Research Project (1 Year) // Psychiatry Volunteer at Local Hospital // UCSF Undergraduate Research Assistant (1 Year)
Essay: I started at a 4-year university straight out of high school, didn’t do very well (1.9 GPA). Left university to come home, work full-time, and treat my mental health. Started at local CC 6 months later (Spring 2015).
I’m mainly worried about my GPA being the sole reason for not being accepted since I noticed the average was about 3.6-3.8 for psychology. Keeping my fingers crossed admissions notices my 1.9 to 3.2 GPA jump, but I’m wondering if I should spend an extra year in CC & brace myself for a rejection letter
