<p>I have no life and work 55 hours a week while taking 17 units at my CC. I have 26.7 IGETC (40 quarter units) units from AP credit. and 6 units from summer session, [so 32.7 units completed makes me a sophomore] I am 18 years old majoring in business Econ, Econ/accounting, finance --> depends on the school I go to. How will a UC look at me?</p>
<p>It depends on your GPA.</p>
<p>I’ve only completed 2 college courses (over summer) I got As in both haha. So 4.0 over 2 classes and 32.7 units</p>
<p>Working 55 hours a week will be viewed very favorably if you can still get grades. That sounds like hell though.</p>
Got 4.0 Fall semester 17 units. @music1990 Hopefully they see my entire package!!
I think you should be set. Working that much and still getting a 4.0 is pretty impressive, and I think they will definitely see that. I think they would rather have someone like you who is already forced to be an adult and work that much than some spoiled kids who have time for all their little clubs and stuff lol.
What school do you want to go to?
Congrats, @Sustenance! I’m hoping for the same results this semester. Taking 19 semester units this semester and working a ton of hours between running a business and consulting work.
17 units is hard enough for a person with no work, so great job!
@music1990 Hey that is awesome to hear, I feel like a grown man already and I’m only 18 haha. Yeah you know that’s what I feel about the clubs and EC’s but I guess it just comes down to whoever judges my app and if they see the rigor in working that much whilst attending school. I feel like one of those cases that could be easily dismissed or seen as a peculiar case that gives me that edge I need to get in. thank you for your response.
Thank you @briank82 – WOW that is remarkable, running a business whilst taking 19 units holy cow. Yeah you know so many people at CC don’t work or barely work and I just wonder what they do with all their time… What grades did you earn during the Fall semester?
Fall I did well, 2 A’s and 2 B’s … only of which the A’s and one of the B’s are transferable. I took 13 units in Fall but wasn’t entirely committed and I had no idea I’d want to go to Berkeley, so now I’m playing catch up. I expect to have a 4.0 this semester, but time will tell.
In the past, I’ve been around a 50-50 student in terms of getting mostly A’s and B’s, but I just never applied myself too much as my business was my priority. Oddly and funnily enough, now I’m exactly the opposite.
@briank82 very nice, what major & how far along are you?
I’m trying to get into Haas at UCB for Business Administration. Just some odds and ends left really, but won’t be applying until this upcoming Fall.
I have a ton of credits, which really helps even out all those B’s I got. I probably have like 10 B’s lol, but enough A’s and A’s I plan to get that should hopefully bump me up to around a 3.8 come application/TAU time.
I’m not 18 though, I’m 28 ha.
We’ll see!
What are the schools you want to get into?
