<p>goodness...you've done more than I could've done if I'd repeated each grade twice. You're pretty damn impressive so I'd go with yes.</p>

3

<p>lol thanks.... i hope i can make somewhere...
last year i almost didn't sleep trying to pass all the classes i was taking while maintaining my social life</p>

4

<p>Everything looks good. Just make sure you write good personal essays and finish strong.</p>

5

<p>what do you mean by finish strong??? with good grades in my senior year???</p>

6

<p>^ yes. While senioritis does hit, try not to slack off too much. Otherwise, you'll be fine.</p>

7

<p>if you want to go safe,do something aside from engineering. im sure you can get into cls</p>

8

<p>Wow my application looks like **** compared to yours and I got in. :)</p>

9

<p>and how hard is it to change majors once you are in>>>?????</p>

<p>thanks</p>

10

<p>Everyone goes in undeclared so changing majors WITHIN your college is no hassle, since you're undeclared from the start. </p>

<p>If you want another major in a different college (ie College of Natural Resources, Letters and Science) you'll have to fill out paperwork. It's easy to go from College of Engineering to most other colleges at Cal. Not so true for the other way around.</p>

11

<p>was wondering since "bitterxaurum" mentioned that i could get into cls...</p>

<p>lol and what is cls anyways?</p>
