<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>So, the title itself is my main question. I got all of my grades for Spring 2013. I have two A's and one C. Those two A's are from my Ochem II and Advance College Writing classes. My C is from my Calculus II class. By the way, I am majoring in chemistry. Will having this C on my transcript automatically remove my change of getting in Cal? So far, I don't have any C's on my transcript (this is the only C I have on my transcript). Should I retake the class or try to get an A on calculus III instead?
I just had a very bad professor. He got sick and was out of the class for a few class days. When he went back, we only had three days to cover the specific chapter and then a midterm. I was also sick during one our midterms. He didn't let me took that midterm because I don't have the "papers" to prove I was sick. The worst part was he combined our last midterm and final. So basically, we took two exams on the final day.</p>
<p>Can you give me any advice on this one? I don't want to give up my dream of getting into Cal.</p>
<p>You may not want to give up the dream, but objectively speaking, maybe you should.
Admission into Cal is difficult. A C will make you look stupid.</p>
<p>What are your ECs like?</p>
<p>Please consider USC Dornsife as well, provided you can afford it.</p>
<p>To Legoo, yeah, I know… Having A’s then a C really look stupid to me. I guess I’ll just do my best on my remaining preparatory classes and try to enroll at Cal but as just one of my options.</p>
<p>To Catria, EC? You mean Extra Curricular right? I did two volunteer works at chemistry stockroom and tutoring center as a tutor. I am also a member of SACNAS and MESA (I don’t know though if you know them.</p>
<p>I will be working as a group tutorfor Ochem II next semester and be a tutor in chemistry and some lower division math in MESA. And probably do some volunteer works while taking 12 units next semester.</p>
<p>I assumed you want to go to Cal as a transfer… am I right?</p>
<p>One C won’t kill you</p>
<p>To Catria, yes, I want to go to Cal as a transfer. What do you think about my situation?</p>
<p>To luminalcoin8, so you mean I have a chance of getting in even having a C on my transcript? I’m majoring in chemistry which is kind of like one of Cal special department. That is why I’m really anxious about my grades especially sciences and math.</p>
<p>A little late to the game, but I assume you still want input, yes?
Well here’s mine: one “C” will not kill you. Jesus, even if you had a few D’s not one person on this entire site could predict whether Cal would reject you or not because we are not admissions counselors! I think that your two A’s certainly are impressive. It is kind of unfortunate that your C is in math when your majoring in Chem but it is totally overlook-able if you demonstrate your ability over all, which I trust you do and will continue to do!
Best of luck!</p>
