<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I am currently an exchange student at UC Berkeley and at my first semester here a got an GPA of 2.6. I am wondering how bad is my GPA to approach professors for a undergrad research volunteer and for Internships? The reason why I got a GPA so low is because right before the finals I got some bad news and couldn't focus properly on the finals, therefore I ended up with a B+, and 2 other C+, all of them in upper division tech courses, I would like to know how bad is that? I planning to contact some faculty for undergrad volunteer research.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
