Hey guys! I’ve decided to make a post pertaining to transferring from a cali community college to UC Berkley
Note: Some important facts about myself
Age: 16
State: Ohio
Grade: Highschool junior
UW GPA: 3.1 Weighted: 3.4
ECs: Key Club (2 years) Marching band (3 years and going to do it next year, so 4) Chess Club (2 years) Varsity Softball (2 years, skipped junior year to focus on school and work but going to pick it back up senior year, so 3). Also, I’ve had a job(s) every year.
I know that high school doesn’t matter if I’m transferring, but it’s just for context
I’ve taken college courses all year and am planning on going full time my senior year to get some GE’s out of the way and i get dual credit - both high school credit and college credit. At the same time I take two AP classes at school (AP Economics- AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics, the course has two full length AP Exams), AP World History and a foreign language (Latin)
Major: Bioengineering
As for my grades in those college classes which are going to factor into my trasnfer GPA I have gotten 1 A, 3 B’s and a C+
. The course load and juggling my EC’s and troubles at home were a bit much for me this year, and I’m worried that even if I do work and study to get all A’s in the college classes in the follwoing years, they won’t be enough to raise my GPA to at least a 3.9 or 3.85. I know that just a couple eh grades in college can offset your GPA quite a bit and I’m wondering if those 4 eh grades plus one A in a non-major related class would hurt me or at least by how much.
I’m planning on getting my California residency and going to a cali cc because I know that they get transfer priority and I know that my high school GPA isn’t up to par to Berkley but it’s my dream school so this will give me a second shot.
