<p>Hello All!
I'm looking to transfer to UCSC from CC for Fall 2013. My first year at CC I had a 3.0 gpa but my second year I had a 2.1 gpa (got 5 C's). I had personal issues and let it get in the way of my studies. This semester, my third semester, I got it all together and have a grade trend with A's in all of my classes and will finish this semester with 3 A's and one B with an overall gpa of 2.7 (having raised my gpa from 2.2 to 2.7). I will explain in the essay portion that my low grades were due to personal issues and take full responsibility, but I don't know if I should even apply due to my low gpa. My complete grade turn around from straight C's to A's would be noticed, but I'm not sure if it will even help at all. Any comments/advice would greatly help. Thank You! </p>
