<p>Are you applying to Berkeley? I am at Berkeley and I know they are trying to increase their out of state students. Not sure about Irvine, but they might be trying to do the same thing. (The UCs like out of state students right now because they pay more and the colleges are strapped for cash). I think you will have a good chance at Berkeley, based on your grades. Be sure to keep the grades up if you can, I don’t think they like to see a downward grade trend. A “W” or two won’t hurt you, so I think it was smart to withdraw from the class you were not doing well in.</p>
<p>I would call the UC you are interested in applying to/have applied to and ask them about the courses you should take to keep up with transferable coursework. They may be able to help you better than we can, since most of us are instate. I believe that IGETC won’t directly apply to, because it is mainly for instate Community College transfers. It is still a good guideline for the general classes you might be required to take to fulfill breath requirements.</p>
<p>For Berkeley, take a look at this page to see what the Poli Sci major requires: <a href=“http://polisci.berkeley.edu/undergrad/requirements/[/url]”>http://polisci.berkeley.edu/undergrad/requirements/</a> . You might also be able to talk to the counselors in the department if you have questions. I don’t know much about Irvine, but go to Berkeley, so I might be able to answer your questions if you have any about Berkeley. Good luck!</p>
