<p>Just writing really quickly, and I know these freaking chance threads on people's nerves...but I just couldn't resist haha ---so it's ucla/ucb/ucsb/ucsc/ucsd</p>
<p>Quick summary:</p>
<p>Went to Tulane for a sem and got a 3.8 (left for personal reasons)</p>
<p>Then went to Univ Miami, 3.73 first sem, then 3.2 next (i almost dropped out.was depressed..blah....it was an awful time and I am trying to cover for that!)--left miami due to the awful econ and realizing i'd be in debt up to my eyeballs forever!</p>
<p>So meanwhile, I have CA residency and am going to moorpark..cum gpa is now a 3.55. I think I can get a 4.0 or at least a 3.76 this sem...so hopefully a cum of at least 3.59 but maybe even 3.64.</p>
<p>Work 12 hours a week</p>
<p>Have gone to other countries and done a little bit of freelance cultural study.</p>
<p>I was in a few clubs but not enough participation to really list them as ec's.. I could lie!! But honestly that's just how it is lol.</p>
<p>Major: Either linguistics, spanish, chinese, or a combo of some of them. I've gotten A's in all language/anthropology classes in college so far, so I hope that'll look good (so maybe like 4.0 major prep?)</p>
<p>Hope that helps! :) Thanks</p>
<p>and i will have 30 units of CC by the end of spring. no worries mate!</p>
<p>Well…I can’t speak in behalf of the top schools like Cal or UCLA, but if you write a good personal statement and smoothly relate it to your major of choice and maintain a competitive GPA (3.5+) you’ll probably have a good chance on getting accepted to UCSB,UCSC, and UCSD. Going to other countries and doing a little bit of freelance cultural study is a great fact to add to your PS. If you completed IGETC and TAG (for UCSD) even better chance of getting in.</p>
<p>I couldn’t do TAG because you need (at moorpark) like 6 honors classes to graduate from TAG and u can i think onlly take 2 a semester. and i just started this semester :-</p>
<p>you are in at UCSB/UCSC. You have a pretty good shot with UCLA as long as you complete all prereq’s. Your stats are competitive for your majors of interest. I don’t know about Cal…I’d say it’s a reach.</p>
<p>seeherfly,
ohhh. haha. sorry moorpark has a weird thing for TAG–instead, they have an honors program which they say is equivalent but you have to complete like 6 honors classes before you leave moorpark, and some of the classes (like some sort of math) i’ve already taken non-honors, so I can’t take them. So, they said that makes me ineligible.
sorry bout that lol. those are their rules :-
if i were at moorpark last year i prob would’ve done this!</p>
<p>you’re in at all UCs, as long as you don’t try to apply for competive majors at ucla and berkeley(bus econ, econ, communications, etc) and finish your pre-reqs for your major with a 3.5 or higher.</p>
