ACCEPTED 3.43 GPA Mechanical Engineering
California community college student from the central valley.
I had a big boi upward grade trend. I went to SDSU and dropped out after two years due to poor performance. BUT I’ve gotten straight A’s over the past two years in all of my engineering courses and a couple remaining GEs.
My extracurriculars were solid, but not fully related to engineering. I work as a professional in the entertainment/wedding industry, I’m a retail employee, and I did engineering-related research over summer at my local CSU (I don’t go there but got offered the research position anyway).
My essays were probably 9/10 and explained the reason why my grades suffered at SDSU in a very candid, open manner. I discussed mental health and how I overcame my inner demons.
I’m honestly so shook rn…might have cried when I saw the decision. I’ve come so far and I almost can’t believe it.
Accepted: BERKELEY, UC Irvine, SDSU, Cal Poly Pomona, Chico State, San Jose State, UC Santa Cruz
Waitlist: UCSB, UC Davis
Rejected: Cal Poly SLO
