I am a trans muslim and proud of being in that minority, I feel like I’m somewhat of a minority group even though i’m technically considered (white), but I’ve had a lot of issues during my college such as my parents splitting up, my parent almost dying from a gang related incident and leaving him/her(i don’t want to say) mentally incapacitated. I’ve come from pretty humble beginnings, being the first generation in my family to go to college, my parents being refugees I’ve had it hard assimilating into American society growing up, but I’ve worked fast food at age 16, and at age 15 worked at my high school. I’m from California if anyone is wondering. Do I have any chance of getting into Haas, I really want to work administration and to become a rich successful operations director for internet companies in Silicon Valley.
Sorry, I’m not very good at knowing how College Confidential works, so I forgot to add in a few points. last spring I took 2 classes and got a D in one, and this spring i took 3 classes, got a C in one and a W in the other. The W being in econ which I will redo and get an A in in the fall. I’m worried that not taking 4 classes each semester will look bad on my app, and sometimes getting a few bad grades. Last spring I was kicked out of my house for being trans and was homeless the entire semester until I got my job in sales in marketing. This semester, my parents finalized their divorce and I got sick and my heart and lungs were failing and I was in the hospital a month and a half before classes ended. I guess i’ve had some extenuating circumstances but I hope they do not impede my chances, but i’m going to be a full time student for the rest of my community college. My prereqs are very strong though.
