<p>I'm currently a California CC student. My GPA (without -'s) is a 3.6. I'm a Middle Eastern Studies major applying to UCB, UCLA, and UCSB. My CC doesn't offer any of the major requirement classes, but I was able to do concurrent enrollment and take some Arabic and Middle East classes at UCB. Also, I won a competitive scholarship to study Arabic abroad. It was a $20,000 award. Except for one semester of Arabic, I have completed all major requirements for UCB, most for UCLA, and all for UCSB. Unfortunetely, I have 3 Ws and 1 I. =( I just found out recently that I received an internship with the State Department for next summer. I was the Inter-Club Council rep. and Treasurer for AGS at my CC. I can also speak Russian.</p>
<p>Aside from my low GPA and Ws/I, I think I have an ok shot. My essay, I thought, was pretty good. I hired one of those internet sites that claim to have "Harvard Educated" people to assist writting it. I thought the assistance was NOT worth the money, but it helped a little.</p>
<p>So what do you think?</p>
