I am currently attending a CCC and just recently realized it would be my dream to transfer to Berkeley. You will probably think I sound crazy that I am aiming for this goal, but I need some help and guidance.
I currently only have a 3.01 GPA. My first year attending my community college I had many personal things going on and wasn’t contributing my all to school. I didn’t have big dreams, nor did I think i would ever have a chance at going to an amazing school like Berkeley. Over the summer, something clicked. I can’t really explain it, but something within me changed. I started becoming more positive about my life, and more motivated to accomplish things that before I thought were impossible. I visited CAL and i absolutely fell in love. I’ve spend several days looking up ways I can make this happen even though my first semesters performance wasn’t the best. I currently am taking 17 units striving to get the best grades possible (hopefully all A’s) to bring up my UC cumm GPA, but I know even then I won’t have a high competitive GPA. I am hoping to end with a 3.5 GPA, IGETC certified, and pre reqs for my major completed. Do I even have hope at this point? Or any tips that can maybe help my case?
What is your major?
Maybe you would like to post in the transfer forum, there is specifically a transfer forum for UC too. It doesn’t hurt to strive for a reach school, whatever you do to strive will help you anywhere. But it isn’t a good plan to get hung up on once reach working out. Have a plan for success wherever you go. And no one can say your chances when you haven’t turned it around yet. Talk is cheap. And you might be overloading units and sabotaging yourself.

p.s. I am disappointed on opening this thread that it wasn’t dreaming about a big laugh
