<p>So I have 2 f's from a long time ago...since then I have re-taken the class. I now have a 4.0 so far with 35 units. How much will the 2 f's affect my chances? I still would like to apply to UCB and UCLA. It seems like UCLA is more forgiving with this type of thing. </p>
<p>My major is women and gender studies. And before you start to bash on my major...I plan to go to law school after... :)</p>
<p>a) the F’s are said not affect your chances at all… but it’s foolish to think that adcoms aren’t at least slightly influenced by the sight of them… </p>
<p>b) keeping a 4.0, going after women’s / gender studies, i’d imagine that you could **** all over your application and still steer clear of any UC rejections. </p>
<p>have you thought about applying to ivys?</p>
<p>Well…I am glad it wont be too big of a deal…those old stinky F’s. I havent locked in all of the universities I want to apply to yet. I dont think any ivys would be on the list. I just hope I can keep my GPA this next semester. I want to go to the place that will give me the most money, so that I can spend more time on my studies and less time working. </p>
<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>
<p>88% acceptance rate for women’s studies, with a 3.35 gpa average. I think you should start prepping your bowels for your application as pinker said.</p>
<p>88% acceptance for what school? Or is that all UC’s?</p>
<p>Woops, UCLA.</p>
<p>I didnt know the acceptance was that high…but I am not complaining. I can handle that…another great reason to love my major…</p>
