<p>I screwed up in this semester, so I'm likely to end up with an B or even a C in my General Chem II class.</p>
<p>I applied for Berkeley, LA, SD, SB, Irvine and Davis, however, Berkeley is the only one that doesn't require a second chemistry class as transfer requirements for mechanical engineering major. I checked out Berkeley's degree worksheet, and they don't require a second chem class for degree, either.</p>
<p>I know the grade is gonna shows up on my transcript and be seen by all schools anyways, and it's really ugly. But my question is, how does that affect my chances, if it is not part of the requirement? My dream school is Berkeley.</p>
<p>FYI, before this semester, I have a 3.93 UC transferable GPA (2 W's, 47 credits, 1 B in engineering class, which is a strongly recommended class by UCB), after that, it would be 3.86 :( Plus, my ECs are just normal, nothing special</p>
<p>Hmmm, your major is mechanical engineering, and you’ll still have a 3.86 at the end of the semester…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be too worried about a C in Chem II for Berkeley. Now, if you had gotten a C in, say, Linear Algebra, then yeah, you’d be pretty screwed. But I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the others, though. I am certain that chemistry classes aren’t too important for mechanical engineering, so I doubt that’ll destroy your chances or even decrease them all that much, especially since it’s Chem II. What was your grade in Chem I?</p>
<p>Overall, it’s <em>probably</em> not something to lose sleep over. Just be glad you’re not one of those engineering majors who got a C in an electricity & magnetism class. That’ll definitely hurt, lol.</p>
<p>I had an A for Chem I, and I’m likely to ace my Phys II this semester.</p>
<p>I know this kind of post may be worthless, since that’s something can’t be change…but I’ve been depressed for this and just wanna know what position I’m really at…feeling better now</p>
<p>No problem. The transfer process can be very stressful at times.</p>
<p>Anyway, I don’t think the admissions officers will look over your application and say,“Hmm, good grades for the most part…a C in Chem II? I don’t know. We probably shouldn’t accept him.” The chemistry classes probably matter the least. I don’t even know why those classes are required for non-chemical engineering majors.</p>
<p>What matters is that you’ll do well in your Phys II class like you said and that you excel in your math and physics classes in general, like you say you are. A 3.86 is still an impressive GPA for engineering. Good luck!</p>
