<p>Hello all!</p>
<p>I was hoping some kind person will ease my mind after reading over my worries...</p>
<p>Background Info: </p>
<p>I am a non traditional student. Female, 29 years old, and married.</p>
<p>I graduated high school in 2001 with a pretty average GPA (2.8 or some such number).
I proceeded to attend and then drop out of an art university and two community colleges, racking up a couple of Fs, a ton of Ws, and 6 Cs.</p>
<p>Flash forward to 2010, when I decide to enroll in CC again and, like, actually go to class.
I managed to get a 4.0 in my first two semesters, and a 3.6 this past semester. I have no idea how to combine that with my 2 Fs, 6 Cs, and multiple Ws from nearly ten years ago to figure out my total GPA.</p>
<p>I work 25 hours per week (preschool teacher), took 13-18 units each semester, and volunteer at Ronald McDonald house (monthly) and a local cat shelter (weekly). I'm not sure these things factor in, but thought I wold throw it in.</p>
<p>I will complete my IGETC this spring semester from SMC (Santa Monica College). My GPA at SMC is 3.89, Dean's Honor List. I will have 63 credits completed.</p>
<p>So here is the scary part:</p>
<p>In November I applied to UCLA and CSU Northridge, and then, on a total whim, submitted to UC Berkeley as well. Berkeley is my dream school. I really don't think I have much of a chance, but I knew I would never forgive myself if I didn't at least try. I thought I might have an OK chance at UCLA, and a pretty decent chance at Northridge.</p>
<p>Now I am panicking and thinking that maybe I should have applied to more places, and that my chances are low for all three. Reading everyone's amazing grades and EC and whatnot isn't helping any. Everyone here seems to have excellent chances.</p>
<p>I have all the prereqs finished for the Psychology major at UCLA and Northridge(and earned As in all of them) and all but one (Anthro) for UCB.</p>
<p>Anyone want to tell me what they think? Do I have a chance at any of these? Waiting til April is PURE TORTURE!</p>
