Could you share your GPA and extracurricular activities?
I have maintained 4.0 GPA, took math 55 at Berkeley and got an A during the summer session, did independent research in real analysis with my community college professor(we call it research but it’s basically just introduction to analysis class that is not transferrable. Because community colleges do not offer real analysis classes I just studied it with my professor and got credit but it’s not transferrable) and worked as a math TA for one semester.
I am not sure if my stat is good enough to be admitted…
I’m a transfer instead freshman applicant sorry to bother. Just wondering if anyone have ever heard any rejections toward tap students yet? I’m not confident with my low gpa at all(3.65) got 7 Bs and one C throughout my college courses, and my only relevant ecs with my major are work expericens in clinics and MD’s office. My essays are 7 or 8/10 I’ll say had some help from a few ppl. I applied for Rausser College of Natural Resourses with microbial bio. Anyone could help a lil would be much appreciated!
