<p>I am a ccct student and was wondering what my chances are at:</p>
<pre><code> Berkeley
UCLA
USC
UCSD
</code></pre>
<p>My gpa is 3.6, including the fall semester. Im a political Science major, and have a guaranteed transfer agreement to UC Davis, but Im dying to get into Berkeley. I am IGETC certified, and I am lined up for two associate degrees. Im a permanent Alpha Gamma Sigma member, I have worked 30 hours a week, for the past year and a half. Also I was a volunteer firefighter for the city of Stockton for over a year and a half, and half significant community service hours. I incorporated that into my UC application. Dont know if it helps that I did horrible in high school, and I am a total turn around. Thanks</p>
<p>Your knowledge of grammar is appaulling. I think a 3.6 is nice, but if your application essay reads anything like your question then I think you're in trouble.</p>
<p>Berkeley accepted only 17% of the Fall 2004 transfer applicants for a social science major. Political science, specifically, will be more difficult. You're inside the middle 50% (3.56 - 3.91) range for the average admitted transfer student, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.</p>
<p>While the volunteer firefighter thing is neat, I'm wondering what it has to do with being a political science major?</p>
<p>Being a volunteer firefighter has nothing to do my major. However, Berkeley does ask for any significant community service, or substantial experience with other cultures. That is why I mentioned it in my application. In regards to your comment on my grammar, if you would like me to rewrite the question for you in a formal letter I would be happy to. Obviously it took me no more than one minute to write this post, and if it makes you feel better I took a great amount of time on my application essay. Thanks for your input though.</p>
<p>volunteering at the local firefighter station has everything to do with political science because that major requires realtions in and with the community.</p>
<p>for your major and because of your GPA..your chance to berkeley is low, UCLA is alrite and UCSD & USC is good..good luck..you nver know, so don't give up hope yet...</p>
