<p>thank you for your reading this list of my grades. I know it's long.</p>

<p>I have some questions that i desperately need some answers.</p>

<p>My major is Global Studies and I only have one course of second foriegn language(French2) to take for UCSB. Should I take French2 in sprin 2011 or this fall?
As for USD I still have one political science course which I will take in the fall.</p>

<p>In total, I got 2Cs, 1D, 4Ws, 1F
and the "D" course that I tried to retake I got a W...
I feel like all my bad grades are due to my laziness, and find it hard to explain it in my essay. And the more I think about this, the more i regret that i did not work hard...
So I probably wouldn't write anything about that and just focused on how i gain interest in my major.</p>

<p>I intern at an accounting firm on Sat. for about half a year.
Was Econ Club VP for a semester.
Member of Spanish Club</p>

<p>So what is my chance to transfer to my dream school UCSB? and how about UCD?
Should I retake the course History of Spain (I dropped with W) even if it is not my prerequisite now?</p>

<p>lots of Ws and repeats, but your GPA is OK.</p>

<p>based on straight GPA alone I’d say you’re OK but I can’t be so certain.</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with your major either.</p>

<p>do well during the fall semester since they’ll be looking at that heavily and this summer matters A LOT too.</p>

<p>I would also try to retake that physics class you got a D in, it will do wonders to your GPA. You might have to apply for special permission or take it elsewhere.</p>

<p>if you retake physics and get a B, and knock out as man prereqs as possible I think you’ll be in at both, but that’s just a guess.</p>
