<p>Tried the chances forum and didn't get many responses. Hopefully someone here can give me more opinions:</p>
<p>I decided as it's the night before and I'm taking bets, I'd ask for a chance me.</p>
<p>Transfer applicant, 3.72 (on 4 point scale) GPA. Coming from Los Angeles Pierce College (community college). Applying as a political science major.</p>
<p>I am IGETC certified, meaning I've satisfied all pre-reqs and so on for transfer to their program. I've also taken all their requirements (and a bit more) for my major.</p>
<p>Part of the Honors college.</p>
<p>Student government at Pierce.</p>
<p>Held job as manager of a tow truck company for 9 months (before quitting), and worked in graphic design for a year.</p>
<p>Co-founder of Political Science Club.</p>
<p>Volunteered as assistant coach at my old high school's debate team for 2 years.</p>
<p>Worked as an unpaid tutor for a year with special needs kids.</p>
<p>Did Debate in high school, included top 50 awards (statewide) in both International Extemporaneous Speaking and Lincoln Douglass Debate from 12th grade (2 years ago).</p>
<p>Thoughts? I included some other stuff on the application, but it doesn't seem as relevant/useful. Any honest feedback would be greatly appreciated on my chances of transferring to UC Berkeley.</p>
I think their decision will depend mostly on your personal statement, since political science is one of those cut-throat majors (well, they’re all cut-throat at UCB, but you know what I mean).</p>
