<p>Reflection
Strengths: Good personal statement. Turned my grades around after a disastrous first semester. Upward trend in grades, Leadership and teaching positions.</p>
<p>Weaknesses: Low GPA (I think it leaned more towards 3.2 than 3.3) Failed calculus 1 and only managed to get a C my second time taking it. Have a few C’s, and did not finish math by fall. Few extracurricular activities and none really related to my major.</p>
<p>As you can see my tenure at community college was far from spectacular, I had a really low GPA and didn’t finish my math on time. Hopefully my decision will take some stress off those who are still pending. If I got accepted on my shoddy credentials then most of you have nothing to worry about :)</p>
<p>Congrats to those accepted and good luck to those still waiting!</p>
<p>Admitted transfers! Be sure to join the UCSB Transfer group on Facebook! A lot of us are going to meet up this Saturday at UCSB’s Spring Insight! :)</p>
<p>Search up, “UCSB Transfer Students (Fall 2013)” on Facebook!</p>
