gpa dropped after this semester

<p>so.. i think my gpa is going to be 3.5? UCLA and UCB = no more chances? i applied to Irvine and SD as well...
I'm a civil engineer major. Hopefully they will like my essay and my honesty I've shown in them. =&lt;/p>

<p>and on top of that.. im trying to transfer from a cal state.</p>

<p>Transferring from a Cal State to UCB/UCLA in engineering is going to be very hard with a 3.5</p>

<p>UCLA is still in range with you dbguy, UCB is out of range. With UCLA, if you still all your pre reqs you still have a chance. Last year, UCLA took a lot of engineers especially civil.</p>

<p>Well, what's your major? This makes a big difference.</p>

<p>sorry. just saw the engineering.</p>

<p>my GPA is going to drop i think also...</p>

<p>OKAY.... i Just saw one of my grades... which is HISTORY, and i got a C in there.. thats my ONLY C, will that kill my chances? i got B's and A's in the rest of my other classes which my major classes, will the C for my GE tramendously hurt my chance of getting in?! im really disapponinted.</p>

<p>dbguy- I hav 1 C also... and rest all A's and B's... what's your major? what's school your aiming for? what's your GPA now?</p>

<p>oh i just saw ur major and schools u applied to... after getting a C ur GPA is 3.5? if your pre-req class grades are good and pre-req done you are competitve for UCLA/UCSD/UCI... since history is just a GE, it won't effect your chance that much... by the way my friend got in to civil engin last yr with 3.5 to UCLA but rejected to UCB</p>

<p>OH! thank you... my hopes are still up there now.. i was so bummed out last night.. especially cause i saw my grade when i was a little hmm gone.. since finals were over. haha but phew.. that took a some weight off my shoulder.</p>

<p>but since your transferring from Cal State not CC... less chance but you still got hopes cuz ur GPA is 3.5! G luck</p>

<p>but did your friend have any C's who transferred into LA?</p>

<p>That C will probably hurt you, but if you did well on your pre req classes UCLA should be a match</p>

<p>It's also a negative trend, and UCB admissions strongly takes grade trends into consideration.</p>

<p>I think he had some C's!!</p>

<p>i worried about the same thing. except i currently have a 3.5 and i think i just got a c in one of my core classes (ochem). :(</p>

<p>guyy- what's ur major? and if you get C wat's ur GPA?</p>

<p>currently 3.56 UCI biomedical engineering with undergraduate research and internship at hospital.</p>

<p>after this quarter gpa would prob be around a 3.3-3.4</p>

<p>ouch... are you trying to go to Cal or ucla?</p>

<p>just hope your essay will stand out =&lt;/p>
