<p>I attended a CCC about 4 years ago and did horrible. 2.3 GPA. VERY harsh living conditions and personal circumstances. </p>
<p>But I started over. Now I am in a new city/ new CCC and I have 40 units with a 3.9 GPA!! </p>
<p>Will both of these GPA's combine??
All my prereq's for my major have been taken at the new CCC. At the old CCC I took a bunch of random IGETC classes.</p>
<p>I know I have to provide all transcripts when I apply but how will my GPA turn out? </p>
<p>The UC transferable courses from both will combine. Did you get Fs and Ds? If so you can ask for academic renewal. </p>
<p>Only UCLA, UCB, UCI and UCM read personal statements so with the combined GPA your best chance would be in one of those schools. UCB to be honest because they are the most holistic.</p>
<p>when you say transferable courses from both will combine, do you mean the courses that apply to my major will be considered? I know that only 70 units maximum can transfer to a UC, but which units will ACTUALLY be transferred given someone in my situation. </p>
<p>Basically I’m just really starting to feel that my new student success will be over looked because of my pathetic past. I know some colleges take this into consideration when reviewing applications but what if I’m in to deep of a hole? I feel like maybe no matter what I am doomed…</p>
<p>All of your UC transferable units are considered and will be merged into one UC transferable GPA for the application process regardless if they exceed 70 units. You will also receive subject credit for all of your units from both colleges and every class will be noted in your academic history at the UC upon transferring, so you don’t have to worry about which specific units transfer because there’s no such thing. The 70 units are arbitrary and non-specific and don’t correlate to specific classes. It’s just a way to limit your academic progress so that you can’t enter the UC needing only a few units to be eligible for graduation. All UC transferable units are recognized for subject credit and can still satisfy prereqs for upper division classes, so you’re not penalized or losing anything by transferring with more than 70 units.</p>
<p>And just to clarify, UC transferable courses means anything that’s eligible to transfer to a UC, which includes major and non-major courses. It’s basically anything listed on Assist.org or that’s listed as UC transferable in your course catalog. It doesn’t have to be a major course or even a course being used for IGETC. For example, if you already completed IGETC, but took an UC transferable music class just for fun that would be included as well.</p>
<p>My CC lists courses as UC or CSU transferable. Look in the description. </p>
<p>If you are deep in the hole, that WILL be a problem for most UCs because they don’t look holistically. Just enter your GPA and Pre-Reqs into a PC, It spits out an acceptance or rejection. So your best bet is writing a good personal statement and trying to get into UCB.</p>
<p>also use academic renewal to get rid of any old Ds and Fs.</p>
<p>Given your high GPA, I think you have a good shot at most, if not all UCs(Especially UC Berkeley since they love to hear success stories like yours). You’ll just have to use academic renewal. I don’t know the details regarding how it’s done, but it involves your community college. I suggest talking to a counselor about that. Good luck, man!</p>
UPDATE: I successfully was granted AR from both community colleges. I contacted the Office of Admissions and Records to file the paperwork at both colleges.
PS
I was admitted to UCSC!! :-c thanks again to everyone who helped out!!(Still waiting to hear from UCB and UCD)
