Hello! I went to West Coast University for my Bachelors in Nursing last year, but had a change of heart and decided to leave and do Computer Science because programming is my passion. Prior to attending the university, I knocked out most of my GE’s(following IGETC) at a local CC except for the sciences which I ended up taking at WCU(Anatomy,Physiology, etc). This past year I went back to CC to take care of the prerequisites for CS. I’ll be attending there for another school year, and would like to apply for universities for Fall 2016. By the end of the school year I should have a years worth of Math, CS, and Physics classes(2-3 classes within each subject) which are the main courses that are listed on assist. I currently have a 3.4 at my CC and I’ve received A’s in all my math, cs, and physics courses, however, I didn’t do well at WCU(2.7 gpa).
So my main question is what do you guys think of my chances getting into Cal Poly Pomona or UCI? If I’m able to push my gpa up to 3.5 at CC and maintain good grades within the math, cs, and physics classes. My only concern is my gpa from WCU bringing down my cumulative gpa. Will this have a great impact on my chances? WCU isn’t as well known as other private universities yet, so I don’t know if this will affect anything.
