<p>Okay, so I'm guessing I'm getting rescinded from Cal. What's next? all SIR dates have passed! Will I lose a semester? a Year? can I apply for next semester to a UC that accepted me before?</p>
<p>well my brother/sister…i was in your shoes last year.
your options now are as follows:
appeal
accept admission to a CSU or Private school (if you haven’t)
apply again to the UC system for Fall 2011</p>
<p>i appealed but it failed
i didnt want to go to a CSU and i didnt apply to private schools
i decided to apply again</p>
<p>Here’s a Little Ditty about Jane:</p>
<p>i applied for Fall 2009 admission to the UC system.
i applied to Berkeley,UCLA,UCSD and UCSB.
i got rejected from Berkley.
i got accepted to UCLA,UCSD and UCSB for Fall 2009
i SIRed to UCLA.
i failed my IGETC math transferable course.
i got rescinded from UCLA.</p>
<p>my only option was to take the math class i bombed…in the Fall of 2009… and apply in November for Fall 2010 with the hopes i’d get in again…so i applied again…</p>
<p>i applied in November 2009 to Berkeley,UCLA,UCSD and UCSB
i got accepted to Berkeley Spring 2011,UCLA,UCSD & UCSB Fall 2010
i got rejected from none.
i SIRed to Berkeley
i am IGETC certified and meeting all my conditions for admission.
i will eventually transfer…spring 2011…hey i am a pro at this waiting thing…i can wait…i enjoy waiting…i do my best work while waiting…i live while waiting…</p>
<p>what i did during the year after i got rescinded and what you can do is make yourself a stronger applicant.</p>
<p>this is what i did:
i joined student government
i volunteered more
i tutored kids more
i Aced my failed course
i cleaned up my essays that got me in the year before
i enjoyed my time at CCC knowing that i got into UCLA i would definitely get in again.
don’t get me wrong it was the longest year of my life. and i was definitely doubting…but thanks to College Confidential…i had an outlet for my stress. </p>
<p>i have lots more to tell you if you want to know anything PM me.
and sorry if this post isn’t coherent…lol…</p>
<p>Actually I rather liked the way you summed everything up Jane. Now I know the true Jane story. It’s like watching a Behind The Music special.</p>
<p>wow jane, you made being rescinded seem not so bad!</p>
<p>yeah, she made it seem not so bad…but, but…all the waiting… :(</p>
<p>Jane, Thank you! I think I feel a little better now. I’m still trying to persuade both the admissions person and my professor (who I’ve been unable to reach). I don’t really care if i have to wait. I know i can always do things to be better prepared. What makes me feel uncomfortable, if the fact that everyone thinks i’m leaving in a month. I feel like i’m letting down some people, and I feel like is going to be like “***! I thought he was going to Cal.” Meh… I’m disappointed.</p>
<p>First things first: </p>
<p>JaneSays: Great song, great sn. </p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation as the original poster. I’ve been accepted to SB,SD,UCI, UC Berkeley and of course my dream school; UCLA. </p>
<p>Rather than being rescinded I saw the writing was on the wall (based on a poor performance in winter session and the fact that I couldn’t add the class in Spring). </p>
<p>My worry (and I worry a lot by nature) is that I will not get in again. I currently have a 4.0 as a poli sci major. I chose to take Bio in the Spring because I figured it wouldn’t hurt me. Well now that I’m applying again, Bio will hurt me. </p>
<p>My question to you Jane, did you make it known in your application that you got in previously? </p>
<p>And we should try to keep this thread alive. I’m glad to know there are others who feel as bad as I do.</p>
<p>Thanks again. </p>
<p>I’m just really worried that my gpa is going to take a hit with a possible B and C this semester. </p>
<p>I figure they can’t reject me with a 4.0 but now that I’ve lost that…I really feel like my future is up in the air.</p>
<p>Janes addiction… :P) I like that one…</p>
<p>Jane:</p>
<p>thank you for your reply to us, I am facing to be rescinded this year, I was down, I was weak, I was in bad mood. But your post gives us the hope to next year, one year is not big deal for us, in this one year, we can learn more than what we can learn from Univ.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Hey jane just wondering did you just get transferitis or was the math class really hard? either way grats on UCB!</p>
<p>Jane:</p>
<p>I’m a non traditional student (28) and returned to my CC this year. I had a 2.3 gpa about 5 years ago, but since going back I have a 3.9 while working full time. Just wanted to see what you had that was able to get you in to UCLA/CAL. I’m afraid that my past gpa will look bad, and its quite difficult to pull up for either university, however, I’m interested in a non impacted major such as Anthropology. Thanks so much for your time.</p>
<p>Howdy Jinx! I do realize that your question was not intended for me, but I’d like to field it anyway!</p>
<p>I was in your EXACT position last year! I’m a bit younger(22), but still, I had tried CC when I first graduated high school and had found myself with a very low GPA(Hovering around 2.0-2.5 range). When I reentered CC a couple years after these dismal grades, I started putting in WORK(SON!)! Anyway, I ended up with a 3.92 for my 2 most recent years at CC also while working full time to support myself(Moved to CA from Chicago, dad passed away last spring, been almost entirely on my own since then.) Anyway, I got into all 3 schools I applied to (UC Davis, UCLA, and UC Berkeley! =D)! So, I suppose what I’m saying is, be honest with them when you apply! They WILL find out about it, even if you don’t tell them! But explain in your statements how and why you received such poor grades, and talk about all the hard work you’ve put in to bounce back! From what I hear they LOVE that stuff! =]</p>
