junior college transfers - two situations

<p>between the two situations, which one would you choose.</p>

<p>say you're applying this fall to a UC (lets say berkeley or los angeles)
and you have 5 pre-reqs to take (and you've taken 4 of them, all A's)</p>

<p>would you rather...</p>

<p>a) Take the last pre-req in the fall knowing there is a pretty good chance you'll get a B in the class (hard and demanding teacher)?</p>

<p>b) Wait until winter to take the class (better teacher teaching in winter)? higher chance of getting the A. Also grade trends = 15 consecutive A's </p>

<p>gpa is high 3.8-low 3.9s</p>

<p>which one do you think would increase your chances or getting accepted to the universities?</p>

2

<p>neither. With 15 consecutive As a B will not kill your chances at either UCLA or UCB. </p>

<p>I myself would take the class during winter though just so you have more time to focus on the 'difficult class'.</p>

<p>it's the same class, just taught by two different professors. fall = impossible to get an A...winter = more likely. i only ask because i know everyone stresses how one must finish their pre-reqs before they apply.</p>

4

<p>haha I had one C and B and i still got into UCLA</p>

5

<p>^HAHAH, we must've had about the same gpa, as I also had only one C and one B.</p>

6

<p>i have two b's from many years ago when i was taking ccc classes during my high school years. since then everything has been pretty smooth...i'm just worried since this is a pre-req class and i don't want a B in it (and if i did get a B, obviously i woudln't want it to affect my admission)</p>

7

<p>^ You're going to get in...Chillax.</p>

<p>Cheers :)</p>

<p>lol easy for you to say cardinal. you're an english major right? i remember readin ur threads a while ago</p>

<p>HAHAHA, no seriously, I went crazy overthinking things when I was applying to UCLA/UCB. I'm just trying to relay it to you guys that its not worth it. Enjoy CC while you can because the stress to get into grad school is a real biatch. </p>

<p>Nah, I'm no longer an English major...</p>

10

<p>so it looks like you're heading over to ucb? wanna check my stats later and tell me what you think my chances are? i'm also applying to a few privates as well but i think i need to retake the sats' (had a REALLY solid score when i took it in hs)</p>

11

<p>Yup, going to ucb.</p>

<p>With your grades alone, I think your chances are good as hell for cal and ucla. </p>

<p>But feel free to PM me anything :)</p>
