I screwed up my first semester please CHANCE ME!!!

<p>.
So I messed up my first semester w/ 1 W an a low GPA, all my other semesters are 4.0
Would you please chance me?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.68 ( 3.75 w/ a 4.0 in fall...very doable)</p>

<p>Applying to: Cal and UCLA</p>

<p>Major: Psychology</p>

<p>Special Transfer Programs: TAP (Cal) and Starting Mentorship Program (Cal)</p>

<p>Pre req's and IGETC: Done by end of Fall 08</p>

<p>EC's: Societies, Clubs, Work, Volunteer....you know the drill</p>

<p>My essays are solid...what do you think?</p>

<p>well get that 3.75 and there shouldnt be too much worries.... and 1 W wont do any harm</p>

<p>I assume TAP is for UCLA as there is no TAP for CAL</p>

<p>UCLA- Match with the 3.75 and TAP</p>

<p>Don't worry about the W it doesn't matter as for the low grades if you don't need the units there's always academic renewal but I think you have a good chance anyways.</p>

<p>There is TAP for Cal. Apparently it's very hush-hush. :)</p>

<p>AR is not necessary- schools like to see an improvement.</p>

<p>yeah but it's nothing like LA's.....and more predictions?</p>

<p>and what is academic renewal? I didn't get F's or D's in any classes, can I still apply for it?</p>

<p>any other chances?</p>

<p>I'm sure that academic renewal policies vary from school to school. At my school (PCC) you can only re-take a class if the grade is substandard. Ds or Fs only.</p>

<p>As for chances, 90% chance at UCLA and 75% chance at Cal if you maintain an upward trend in your GPA.</p>

<p>thanks...anyone else?</p>

<p>I think that's enough bumping.</p>
