<p>Hey, I am a seventeen year old community college, who applied to Berkeley (Business) and UCLA (Business Economics). I am also planning to apply to USC (business) and Stanford (economics).
I messed up in my Calculus II class this semseter. Here are my fall grades:</p>
<p>Calculus II C
Intro to Bus. A
Accounting I A
Spanish 2A (3rd yr of hs) A
non-transferable classes A</p>
<p>EC's
Teaching Assistant for economics
Rep., Senator, and Communications Director in student government
Library Volunteer
Student Voter Education Project Volunteer
PTSD Alliance Volunteer
Editor-in-Chief of student government newsletter
Member of various student clubs
Counselor on TeenCentral.Net
Member of Alpha Gamma Sigma (Honor Society)
Writer and Photographer for school newspaper
UC Berkeley Starting Point Mentorship Program
Fitness program awards
Poetry Award</p>
<p>I will have completed IGETC, all prerequsites for UC, and have received my AA in Business Administration by the end of the spring.</p>
<p>New GPA: 3.743 (my transferable GPA should be higher)
SAT: 1470</p>
<p>How will my fall grades hurt my current chances? I will probably add a few more UCs (I have a TAA with Santa Cruz), but beyond that to what other schools should apply?</p>
<p>Berkeley: far reach
Stanford: far reach
UCLA: reach
USC: Match
Other UC's: Match for the most part cause the rest are easier to get into</p>
<p>You might be in for a dispointment because you are applying to majors which are extremely competative. An example is haas at berkeley which accepts 8% of there applicants. Ive seen even 4.0's rejected from that and people usually need perfect grades and extremely good ec's to get into that. The fall grades will make a big difference because you are applying to competative majors.</p>
<p>I have heard of 4.0 students being rejected. I haven't met any yet, but most of the people I know have lower GPAs. My Berkeley mentor from Haas School of Business had a 4.0, and she was accepted. Haas doesn't really only accept 8%, because over half of the applicants have not completed the breadth requirements or have GPAs lower than the cut-off. I will have completed the necessary requirements. Therefore, the acceptance right is 90/468, so almost 1/5. I know I have a very extremely miniscule chance of being accepted.</p>
<p>My friends and I who transferred into Haas all had a 3.9+.</p>
<p>Remember that you essays and resume counts for a lot during your application, so make sure you are sending in your strongest work.</p>
<p>When you get into the program, send me a note and I can give you tips about how to survive here. The competition here is fierce and students will do anything to get a heads up on you.</p>
<p>When I get in? It doesn't sound like I will be accepted. </p>
<p>If Haas doesn't ask me to submit a resume, does that automatically mean I won't be accepted?</p>
<p>Anyway, everyone who saw my essay told me that it was touching. I wrote about how my age affected my college experience, and how I grew up in college (I started at 13).</p>
<p>That the C was in calc is going to hurt, especially since it was at a cc. You're so young. Why not take a gap year, do something interesting and strengthen your quantative skills? You'll be a much stronger candidate a little older and stronger in math. Haas Keeps a strong eye on their job placement record, you're going to be hard to place in a good job so young. A great program such as this is worth waiting for instead of going to a much lesser program.</p>
<p>Haas has two rounds during the application process. If you don't make it to the second round where they ask you for supplement materials, chances are not good for acceptance. </p>
<p>As far as I know, a resume is required and is about 15% of the application process.</p>
<p>Haas really emphasize strong quant skills. Many of the classes there, especially the 101, 102, and 103 series emphasize math. </p>
<p>Since you already applied, all you can do now is to cross your fingers and wait.</p>
