I messed up my first year

<p>@ OCSurfer: Make sure you thoroughly explain the multiple W’s in your personal statement. Don’t just let them sit there; explain them a bit. Your GPA is good, and UCLA (depending on your major) is probably a match with a 3.6. Do apply, and explain your situation. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Unless you have a few VERY valid reason</p>

<p>Death in family
accident that paralyzed you for months
extreme sickness </p>

<p>not valid excuses</p>

<p>Laziness
not studying
not working hard</p>

<p>either way 15 W’s is a BIG elephant in the room. Most of these colleges want you to graduate on time and 15 W’s does little to convince them you can</p>

<p>you can tag every UC except UCLA and UCB with a 3.1 or higher. </p>

<p>Heres some info if you dont know about TAG, hope it helps.</p>
