Worried CC Student with Questions!

<p>Ok I will be EXTREMELY grateful to everyone that will answer my questions I have that I can't stop thinking about daily. </p>

<p>1) 3.4 GPA Applying Under Linguistics/English Emphasis, applied to UCLA,UCB,UCSD,UCI (want to go to UCLA)</p>

<p>2) I'm in TAP (UCLA, UCI) and will complete it, Joined AGS honor society club, Will be IGETC Certified</p>

<p>3) Most pre-reqs fulfilled but personally told by a counselor at UCLA pre reqs do not really matter for non-impacted majors.</p>

<p>Question 1 : my first semester at PCC was disastrous due to being really sick in Taiwan while traveling there for a couple days during Thanksgiving and not being able to come back, so i essentially missed all my finals. (It was too late to withdraw I think, and I wasn't serious about academics at the time) I explained this in my application but mislabeled the year while explaining it (2007 instead of 2006, do i need to email explaining i mislabeled the year or should i just expect them to figure it out anyways?)
Will a simple explanation of getting sick in Tawian satisfy my schools?</p>

<p>Question 2: In relation to question one, the disastrous semester resulted in the Grades B, D, C, and one F. </p>

<p>F in History D in English, c in a non transferable math course.</p>

<p>But since then i immediately retook the English class for an A and a B for the history course in the summer. How much will it affect my admissions decisions? I hope not too much because i've had strong showing every subsequent semester.</p>

<p>Question 3: As said in my intro I am a linguistics/English major but I am barely completing my math prerequisite in my final semester, will this affect my admission decisions?</p>

<p>Question 4: I've reported in my apps ive been working since Spring (20+ hours a week) and fall of 2007 (30+ hours a week there). But i will barely get at 61 units after Spring. Will the lack of courseload affect me? After barely getting only 3 units Fall 06 Ive taken like 8-7 winter and summer intersessions which is basically equiv to like a heavy workload in fall/spring</p>

<p>Also i made a horrible mistake and submitting my updated grades for Fall at midnight of January 30th essentially Jan 31 at 1 am, does this do anything to me posting my updated grades this late? I know I submitted on time last day, but im just so anal about it. </p>

<p>ANY COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS TO ANY OF THE QUESTIONS WILL BE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!! (YOU HAVE NO IDEA)</p>

<p>i think an upward trend is not a bad idea.
looking at ur GPA i m sure u've had stellar grades after that incident
so well i can't prevent u from being worried but i don't think english major is THAT competitive.
if ur CC has a TAP program agreement with UCLA the more u shouldn't worry
if i m not wrong UCLA updates datelines were jan 31st, so i don't really know what the issue is >_>
we all are nervous lol busting our arses for the past 2 years at a CC and the moment of truth
MOMENT OF TRUTH.
its kinda sad that u know ur CC days are over.
but at the same time we're all wanting to GTFO so bad
ahahaha</p>

<p>I agree with Guardianel. The deadline for UCLA was on the 31st.</p>

<p>I don't really think you need to worry too much. If anything, the grade trend will definitely give you an extra kick to your app.</p>

<p>thanks, i was hoping i wouldn't have to worry too much.</p>

<p>Like i read the thread about F's SCREWING YOU OVER and people should have got W's instead to save themselves so i was like freakinggg out.</p>
