Realistically how many people are accepted without a 4.0+ GPA or amazing test scores? Obviously they matter in the admissions process, but do they take personal struggles into consideration? Personally, I’ve had many personal challenges that prevented me from participating in extracurriculars and achieving my full academic potential. I’m doing what I can now but can a year’s worth of EC’s impact an application at all?
Available in some parts of Europe unavailable in the US. Arguably their best flavor.
I’m taking honors courses for the first time this semester. What can I expect from honors courses? How different are they from regular classes?
For context I currently have a 3.0 GPA. I have high hopes of attending UC Berkeley. I have already completed 63 units but my application isn’t competitive enough.
For the 26-27 academic year I will be working on earning my paralegal certification which is about 30 credits. I’m attempting to join the honors program at my community college which is a minimum of 15 units. I also plan to do EC’s throughout the year. Can anyone offer any insight?
Hello! I’m contemplating doing another year of community college with a goal of transferring to Berkeley. I’m a Poli Sci major and I’ve completed 63 units so far and a 3.0 gpa. I recently decided i wanted to earn a minor in pre-law. I didn’t apply for the 26-27 UC applications. I was planning to attend Sac State this year and do some extracurriculars for experience but UC campuses prioritize CCC transfers. I don’t know if I should do a third year of CC or just transfer to Sac State. Berkeley is my dream. I should add that I was also dismissed from Sac State a few years ago. I took a year off from my education then started CC and earn mostly A and B grades. Help 😭
