Hi guys, this is my first post/thread here and first off I would like to say hello to everybody.

I go to school in a very big competitive public school, in Arcadia CA (near LA) ranked one of the top schools in California i think

Ive been in Arcadia since 7th grade, and I got OK grades Freshman year,
4 A's 2 B's

Unfortunately in my Sophomore year, because of job issues, we moved to Manhattan Kansas around August (school starts in august there)

Even more unfortunate, was the fact that around December I had to move back to Arcadia, where I did the worst I have ever done academically.
This was because of several factors:
Although it is against school policy, because of my good transfer grades, they signed my up for Chem H and Physics at the same time, also they signed my up for English (H) and I'm terrible at English
Because of the stress of moving etc. (I know im whining, but trust me it is hard) my grades dropped first semester sophomore year

English H - C
Physics A
Math Analysis(Pre Calc) - B
Chem H - C
Pe - A =)
Spanish 1 B

second semester I pulled it up to
English H B
Physics A
Math Analysis A
Chem H B
Track/field A
Spanish 1 B

First of all, can i write on my college app about moving and how it damaged my GPA quite a bit
I want to go to a good UC school so sophomore year is part of the GPA

Second of all how bad will this hurt me for Uc's especially UCSD

My schedule this year is:
AP Calc AB
AP Physics C
US History H
English regular
Spanish 2
Robotics

Competitive enough?

Thanks for any help =)
