Hi! I’m an international student who did three years of cc and applied to UCs, such as UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, Berkeley, Santa Barbara and UCLA.
Unfortunately, I did not get into any of these schools.
I did an extension program (as an exchange student) at UC Berkeley, and I have a total of 27 units, in upper division classes. When I came to community college, I wasn’t aware of the limit of units. This is my third year at a cc and I currently have 93 units in total.
My college GPA is 3.5. I honestly have no idea of what I should do.
Should I wait another year and apply again, or it will be even worse with more units? should I apply to a state school?
It was my fault since I did not think that the units would be a problem. Additionally, I did not have the best counselors.
Edit: I did not receive the letters from Santa Barbara and LA, however, Im pretty sure I will be rejected.
Thank you all in advance!
