UC Davis for Grad School?

seraph1197-296464 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:55:48 GMT

1) I'm a US citizen studying abroad and a former California resident.
2) I have nearly a 75% for my aggregate in a pretty good university
3) Chances are i'll get about 1300 on my GRE
4) I'll have no experience other than my final year project and a inplant training.
5) I'm applying for a biological science department (perhaps Cell & Molecular Biology)

What are my chances? I'll be graduating in 2011, so i'll be applying in less than a year. Any improvements I can make?

Do i have a solid chance?

Hi, I am new to this forum so hello everybody. I am a California community college student who plans to transfer to the more competitive UC schools this fall (LA, Berkeley, SD and some other UCs). Im plan to major in history. My gpa was a 3.43 first semester and it will be a 3.72 or 3.78 overall by the end of this fall semester. I know these schools are competitive, but i want to know what you guys think. (Im not in honors program, will be IGETC certified. Few ECs. had 18 units this semester). Any input greatly welcomed.

Chance me please! :)

The UC application does not have enough space for me to list all my courses. Should I list additional courses in the additional information section?

UC application collegel level (CL) not available?!

Hi.

I took some college level classes and wanted to put that down when I was listing my classes for my UC application. For the honors levels, there are No honors level, AP, and honors, but not College level. I don't want to put regular/no-honors level...anybody else have similar problems?

thanks
