My God I am Screwed

Transfer Students
1

<p>I want to transfer to eitheir: Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD or UCI from a CCC. I just got my Fall grades back today:</p>

<p>Calculus II: A
Writing I: A
Pascal Programming: A
Physics 4A (Calc): C <==== NOOOOO</p>

<p>how much will this hurt me..man I am so depressed I studied so hard but my professor everyone hates him and he screwed up everyone one. I know atleast 4 other people in that class with the same situation. God I really wanted to go to Berkeley but I don't think I have that chance anymore.</p>

<p>I wanted to go in Electrical Engineering.</p>

<p>If a lot of individuals from your class are applying to Berkeley and they earned a less-than-stellar grade, I am sure the university would spot the pattern. The least you could do is submit an addendum.</p>

3

<p>what's an addendum?</p>

4

<p>Addendum: Intended to supplement.</p>

5

<p>Don't feel too bad. I have the same situation.</p>

6

<p>Whats your cummulative gpa?</p>

7

<p>My GPA is going to fall from a 3.8 to a 3.743.</p>

<p>CC Student look at your own thread. </p>

<p>Fei what major are you applying to? Whats your overall gpa? Those factors makeup a big difference.</p>

<p>this was my first semester but I am definite that I will pull it up to a 3.8. I received the C because of my crappy teacher. Almost everyone got Cs and Ds. He is horrible and practically ruined my GPA. I will be applying for Electrical Engineering at:</p>

<p>UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCSB, UCSC, UCD and UCR</p>

<p>ONe grade can be ignored, do well in everything else and ur chances are good for all schools except maybe LA and UCB</p>

11

<p>Yea, other than UCB and LA, your chances seem fine. Just work on pulling up your GPA. Good luck.</p>

12

<p>so you are saying that I have absolutely no chance for UCB or UCLA? What can I do to make my application seem better? Should I volunteer? etc.?</p>

<p>Volunteering is definitely a good idea. Check out the Alpha Gamma Simga (Honor Society Club), if your school has one. Also, think about student government and other on-campus clubs that interest you (like an engineering club). Try to become a teaching assistant for one of your teachers, if that is possible. Also, at my CCC, we have a UCB mentorship program, where someone from UCB can mentor you through the application process. </p>

<p>Think about what ECs interest you. Also, continue working on your GPA, and make sure that you complete all the required prerequisite classes before you transfer.</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

<p>Still, UCB and UCLA are really competitive, so they are still reaches.</p>

<p>Fei, I have heard that EECS at Cal is probably the hardest major to be accepted into as a transfer. Their AVERAGE GPA is 3.91. Plus, since you are an engineering major, you should have really gotten a B or above in physics. Having a C will be looked down upon especially as a EECS major for Cal. UCLA might still be a chance, but I honestly believe Cal would be very unlikely (not to bust your bubble) for you to transfer. Can you also evaluate my chances.....</p>

<p>I have a 3.71 GPA for chemical engineering. I have read on the Cal website that for the College of Chemistry, the average GPA for transfers is 3.7. Do you think I stand a chance if I completed all my lower requirements.</p>
