Lost Cause?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Well, what can I say?
I was an unbelievably lazy student during the first semester of sophomore year. And I'm not saying 3.0 bad. I got less than a 2.0 :(</p>

<p>I tried to make up for it, and I did an amazing job of it.
So here's how my trend goes.</p>

<p>10th grade - First Semester - Less than a 2.0
10th grade - Second Semester - 3.8
11th grade - First Semester - 4.4
11th grade - Second Semester - 4.6</p>

<p>I re-took the two classes that I didn't pass, and I got A's in both. And California uses the Uncapped System, so that might help me out a bit.</p>

<p>But I'm worried that I gave it my all during the last 3 semesters for a lost cause.</p>

<p>I applied to USC, UCD, UCI, Cal Poly-SLO, UCSC, UCSD, UCM, UCSB.</p>

<p>Ugh. So frustrating. If I could have that semester back, I'd get at least a 3.8</p>

<p>Should I be TOO worried?</p>

<p>The trend of your grade is going up. I'm sure you'll get in to one of the UCs. I won't be surprised if you get in to UCLA too as long as you have good SAT score.</p>

<p>Junior and senior year, are looked very closely by most colleges, even though your first two years are also considered.</p>

<p>What's important here is that you've strided and completely changed yourself, and this obviously shows. This is your strongest tool.</p>
