HORRIBLE transcripts from previous cc, trying for UCLA. Chance me, prease!

Transfer Students

<p>So just like the other stupids out there I got out of high school with an acceptable GPA (3.2), continued on to cc and lost my MIND. W's, F's, you name it, I did it. I try not to give excuses for the F's on my transcript (5 to be exact), because I'm embarassed, but I know I'm not stupid which is why when I moved to California I enrolled at SMC and made the conscious decision to be a grown up. So far it's been going well. </p>

<p>CSN (my old school)
A's: 1
B's: 2
F's: 5<br>
W: oooohhhhhhh thousands!</p>

<p>SMC
A's: 8 out of 8! As far as I'm concerned that wont be changing anytime soon. I'm going for straight a's all the way through.</p>

<p>My plan is to apply to UCLA (my DREAM school) for transfer and hope that they pay more attention to the hard work I've been doing for the past year as a adult, as opposed to the stupid decisions I made when I was a kid. I do realize that those f's will hurt me... bad, but I just need a little insight. Is there any hope, at all? How much do transcripts from a previous cc matter to schools like UCLA? I also wonder if I am eligible for the guaranteed transfer SMC has with UCLA with such a poor performance at my last school? If it doesn't work out I suppose I have no one to blame but myself, and UC San Diego won't be so bad. ;)</p>

<p>I do not know whether there is hope or not, but I do know that UCLA does not offer TAG. There is priority admission for students from SMC scholars program to the college of letters and sciences though.</p>

<p>And yea, I believe this topic should be in the UC Transfers subforum ;-)</p>
