<p>Okay, well I screwed up sophomore year and got a 3.0, but I know that I am capable of MUCH,more than that, in junior year I got a 4.7! I will be going to ccsf, and ive already completed most major prerequisites (w/4.0) but I need to finish up igetc. How hard is it to transfer to Berkeley from there? For l&s. </p>

<p>Depends on your major, gpa, and essay(?)</p>
<p>What is your major</p>
<p>It’s only hard if you don’t have the drive</p>
<p>Oh, I DEFINETLY,have the drive I could have gone to uc Davis, ucsd or other college and im choosing to do the CCC route! My major is mathematics.</p>

<p>And why did you put essay(?) But not extra curriclars?</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC</p>
<p>Just aim for all A’s and get involved in an extracurricular that interests you. You have a clean slate now and you know you’re capable of straight A’s, so do it and accept nothing less! That’ll get you into Berkeley.</p>
<p>Yeah, I dont have a clean slate (done most major prereqs with 4.0 already) but a good one!</p>

<p>Aren’t you still in high school? You couldn’t possibly know if you could have gone to UCD or UCSD if you haven’t applied yet.</p>
<p>You’ve already taken college classes and have been getting all As?</p>
<p>Yeah, ive already taken the calc courses. And your right, I dont knoe that for sure but everyone is calling them my safeties based off of ECs and test scores ;)</p>

<p>I also plan to get linear algebra, differential equations, English, and some more classes out of the way during my senior year. So I should be in good shape tp be a one year transfer!</p>

<p>But I do know I could have gone to trinity.college of Dublin! I already was in contact with the admissions faculty and they gave me an unnofficial acceptance! I cant pay for ot though :(</p>

<p>ECs don’t get you into a school, GPA does. I know LOTS of people who got rejected from UC Davis and they were surprised because they thought it was a safety. And I know a lot of people who applied to multiple UCs and only got into a few of them, and they weren’t by ranking- as in, they got into LA but not Davis. A safety is your local CSU, which I believe is required to accept you if you live.</p>
<p>Make sure you can handle your senior courseload in addition to all of those college classes. That sounds like a lot. Although, if you are so set on doing CC transfer then I guess you could take the easiest load possible at your hs to guarantee you extra study time for the college classes.</p>
<p>Also look into taking summer classes. I know CCSF still has some summer classes but idk if any of them apply to your major or IGETC or are even UC transferable. If you’re cool with putting down $2k, you could register for UCB’s summer session D which starts Monday and see how you like the school.</p>
<p>Although, similarily I know people who got imto uc Berkeley with 3.1 GPA because of ECs so YES they matter for freshman apps. And no, I will NOT go to a state university when I still have a chance of getting into prestigious colleges, even if it is from a CCC. </p>

<p>And my high school allows students to get off early if they are participating in community college classes, so ill be able to handle it.</p>

<p>this is how I got accepted:
Got an A in every single class I took at CC.
Finished all pre-reqs.
Got a relevant internship to my major.
Had a clear vision for my career goals and portrayed that in my essays.</p>
<p>= Accepted</p>
<p>Oh just to clarify something; my high school doesnt offer AP classes during sophomore year… </p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC</p>
<p>don’t even worry about ECs. Aim for all As and you’ll be set.</p>
<p>How do you get a relevant internship to mathematics though? I already know that I want to be a college proffessor at trinity college of Dublin! </p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC</p>
<p>Yeah, it just broke up into convrrsations about freshman wpps (more EC heavy for many non ucs) and continuing about the transfer path (Mostly ALL GPA based)</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC</p>
<p>And dont you have to have pre requisites finished to even apply? I dont understand. Haha</p>
