<p>12 Community College Courses
-- community college courses fulfilled under UC Berkeley's transferable breadth courses</p>

<p>-- 1 "F" because the Community College failed to WITHDRAW me from the course and slapped an F on me. They refuse to remove it because I have no evidence that I actually withdrew the course in time *** <- any comments?</p>

<p>(Will this hurt me? If so, how badly?)</p>

<p>-- 1/2 of the community college courses revolve around Business (what I want my major to be)</p>

<p>^ I know the above EC's are not very good...but I'm hoping my essay will reveal more character than any EC's could.</p>

<p>I always thought that I should do what I love so I always condemned those "transcript padders". Rest assured, the above EC's are things that I'm passionate and devoted about (never saw point of doing something I didn't have an interest in)</p>

<hr>

<p>Colleges:</p>

<p>UCSD
UCLA
UC Berkeley
UPenn
Cornell
Yale
NYU</p>

<p>Any other colleges that you think would match...</p>

<hr>

<p>Also, several questions:</p>

<p>1) Will the mistaken "F" on my community college transcript profoundly impact me? I know that it will hurt to some extent but if I give a thorough explanation...do you think there will be any significant repercussions?</p>

<p>2) If I know that I want to be a business major and show it through my EC's, will that impact my chances in any way?</p>

<p>Hmm, the lack of a 2400 on the reasoning will certainly hurt you. The EC curriculars are also pretty terrible. Boxing and Wrestling do not well round you athletically.
My Chances:
UCSD - slight reach
UCLA - big reach
Berkeley - big reach
UPenn - reject
Cornell - waitlist
Yale - reject
NYU - reach</p>

<p>“Hmm, the lack of a 2400 on the reasoning will certainly hurt you.”</p>

<p>^ No it won’t… plenty of applicants get accepted to the Ivies each year without a perfect SAT score. Also, what’s wrong with boxing and wrestling?</p>

<p>It’s sarcasm.</p>

<p>LOL shiomi. Did you post that when I signed off. But yes, bump please. (:</p>

<p>Your numbers are set. 5s on everything, decent GPA, great SATs. I’m sure you know this, but, yeah, try to convey to adcoms how you round out as a person–the great athletic record should show a lot.
UCSD - match
UCLA - high match
Berkeley - reach
UPenn - very high reach?
Cornell - don’t know?
Yale - crapshoot
NYU - low reach</p>

<p>^ Thanks to the above post. I’m currently working on to boost my EC’s. Seems like my GPA is capped out since I’m a junior too. (:</p>

<p>I know most of the schools I listed I probably won’t get into but it’s nice to dream.</p>

<p>…and my inability to recognize sarcasm humiliates me once more on this forum. I can tell when people are being sarcastic when we talk face-to-face, but verbal irony just doesn’t work well when typed. </p>

<p>ANYWAY. Back to the topic. </p>

<p>UCSD - in
UCLA - in
UC Berkeley - high match
UPenn - reach
Cornell - low reach
Yale - reach
NYU - in</p>
