Got a C+ in Calc 2

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm applying to transfer into the other UC's and USC from a mid-level UC for Econ. The rest of my classes were completed with A's or A-'s, including Microecon (A) and Macroecon (A+).</p>

<p>I followed up the quarter that I got a C+ in with a quarter where I received all A+'s for a cumulative GPA of 3.79 as of now. I can't round up either because its a 3.7909. Isn't that somethin'?</p>

<p>-Internship this summer w/ Econ company which offered me a part-time job during the school year
-director of public relations of biz club
-member of leadership club
-member of marketing association
-volunteer for undergrad admissions
-IM sports (haha), I'm also a DJ (but my high school counselor told me that doesn't count as an EC)</p>

<p>-Dean's list for the other 2 quarters besides the stupid C+ quarter
-Undergrad admissions certificate of appreciation
-accepted to honor's program
-AP Scholar (if that counts for anything)</p>

<p>Basically, should I even bother applying? I did so poorly academically and my EC's suck. In all honesty, I just want to apply because I like filling in my information into online forms (as long as I know it's secure). Thanks!</p>

<p>um...you will do fine. I had a 3.78 and a C in Physics I and got in UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCSB, UCD in Electrical Engineering...plus I only had two ECs...</p>

3

<p>whats the difference between an A and an A+?</p>

4

<p>the difference is the plus = )</p>

5

<p>no but i mean really.</p>

<p>The OP said "The rest of my classes were completed with A's or A-'s, *including Microecon (A) and Macroecon (A+). *"</p>

<p>I just wanted to know if you get a different point value for an A and an A+. Perhaps A = 3.9 and A+ = 4.0?</p>

6

<p>A: 4.0
A+: 4.33</p>

7

<p>I thought it was impossible to get over 4.0 in college....
I mean.. I never seen anyone graduateing with higher GPA than a 4.0 in my life...</p>

8

<p>At my school, A and A+ are worth the same. But c'mon, what's prettier? A+ by a mile. Anyway, what do you guys think? Don't bother applying?</p>

9

<p>Don't bother applying? Seriously?
You can't give up that easily, give them a reason why you had that C quarter and prove to them with your current work that it was an aberration.</p>

10

<p>That C+ would definitely hurt you, and what not, you are transferring from another UC. But hey, its wouldn't hurt to try.</p>

11

<p>A C+ is certainly not the greatest thing in the world, but with all those other As, and still having a 3.79, you're still in great posistion. Schools out there like seeing 4.0's but would much rather have transcript-blemished students with lots of depth and personality.</p>

12

<p>What are my reaches and what are my safeties? I'm so worried. Thank you all!</p>

13

<p>Reach but worth a try:
UC Berkeley (ECON Major, not Business)
UCLA (Business Economics Major)</p>

<p>Match:
USC (Business Major)
UCLA (Economics Major)
UC San Diego (Economics Major)</p>

<p>Safety:
All others UCs</p>
