<p>About me:</p>
<p>-20 years old
-Currently 1 1/2 years at Diablo Valley College (junior college), in northern california (NUMBER 1 feeder school for Berkeley)
-Spring 2013 will make 2 years
-Have all but one class finished on the IGETC (speech...Im dreading it)
-At the moment I have about 50 transferable credits, with a 3.2. My GPA has been on a up hill route since I began junior college and I should be receiving a 4.0 this semester but only with 7 units..
-Talked to a counselor and they said to stay 2 more semesters and summer, to take 3 classes that cannot be taken simultaneously ( Pre calc, calc, and second bus accounting last.)
-So basically my counselor says I should stay 3 semesters and what that means is Ill basically be staying 3 semesters and only taking 1 class a semester...
-My goals for school are UC Berk, and USC (i know I need to widen my horizon so Im also thinking about sdsu, ucsb, usd but the first two are my top choices)</p>
<p>What should I do? If I stay three more semesters and only take 1 class a semester, will that look bad on my transcripts for any reason? My counselor said that many students get into berkeley with a 3.6(average) from DVC but Im not that high, so I need to stand out another way. What could I do? Volunteer, sports? </p>
<p>I'm probably going to play baseball, and I am looking for a place to volunteer. What EC will make me stand out? I was also thinking about going out of country next summer to volunteer? If I become serious about that, should I include it in my app?</p>
<p>For USC do I need the SAT as a transfer? </p>
<p>My post is a lot at once, i know, but Im just extremely stressed...</p>
