<p>Thank you
I'm also considering applying to Cornell, University of Texas Austin, Georgia Tech, UCSB, and UCLA.
Thoughts?</p>
<p>Cal does not require letters of recommendations.</p>
<p>Thanks, so what do you think my chances are</p>
<p>In chemical engineering, little to no chance at Berkeley with that GPA.</p>
<p>a big chance i say! uc’s are looking for diversity</p>
<p>everything looks good except that GPA</p>
<p>Thanks, yeah unfortunately my math professor decided not to give out any A’s this semester. My best hope is to get a 4.0 this semester. I really hope the diversity factor and research experience at one of the nation’s top schools gives me a boost. Also a lot of my B’s were in music classes that I took first semester.</p>
<p>@marquisd pm me if u need any extra info (i’ve been researching all this stuff for the pass 2 years lol)</p>
<p>I tried pming you, either I sent like 5 or Zero if it didn’t go through pm me, yeah?</p>
<p>Sent from my SPH-M930BST using CC</p>
<p>sharks I never got your reply</p>
<p>I think you have a chance. I came from a 4-year too and my GPA is significantly lower than the accepted average but honestly I took lots of classes at CC while I was in high school and there was NO COMPARISON in terms of difficulty. I think they give you a break coming from a 4-year but I can only judge from my experience. Just write a kick ass personal statement and pray lol.</p>
