The Holistic Approach

[Tangenitals]

Hi ya’ll. I’m currently a california community college student who’s majoring in history and is aspiring to attend Ucla. Before I didn’t really care where I went for in terms of a school but I started to take my future seriously and have found that la is excellent for the undergrad in history as well as grad school. I am doing my cc’s tap program which I’ve heard allows enhanced admission prospects into getting into a UC but I’m still wondering whether it’s possible if I could get in. I’ve messed up alot in my academic career early on since I was slacking but have thrived in my history courses. My overall gpa at this moment is a 3.0 and I think it’s realistic to get it up to a 3.2. So my main question is do I have a chance to get in ? Along with being tap certified by that time, I’ve worked three jobs so far, 2 in food service and currently this one in retail and have even interned for a congressman over the summer. I’m not too bummed if I don’t get in, but given la’s reputation for it’s grad department it would be awesome if I could be admitted at the undergrad and make connections. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Cheers.
