I know my chances are really slim. Is there a slight chance of me getting in any UC's? Also, I was wondering if I can choose what classes to put in for my GPA since I have over 70 units.

You are good on all schools except maybe LA. I would say you would get into UCLA since you are finishing all your bio/chem/physics, but that is just my opinion. Try to raise your GPA. You are more likely to get in. C's in english. Write a good essay too lol.

@iTransfer: I don't know if you're getting his hopes up for no reason, but to be honest the OP has no chance at UCLA... Not being mean, but giving my honest opinion. Average GPA admitted is 3.63 for that major.

Yeah, Im pretty sure ucla wont accept you with those two Cs. ucla wants at least a 3.5 for gpa i think. But you'll get into everywhere else fsho

RichLaLaLand · 10-21-2009, 04:58 AM

I was looking on assist.org and i saw that many of the UC's want b's for chemistry. D: i'm screwed. Oh, i found something interesting for ucla.

How'd you get C's in general chemistry 1 and 2? I thought Biology was more challenging than Chemistry....

Nihongoyo · 10-21-2009, 12:53 PM

ucla may be a reach for you...but that doesn't mean you can't get into most of the other UC's, i'm pretty sure, as long as you work hard and try to get, say, straight A's this semester! It still counts!!

RichLaLaLand · 10-21-2009, 05:29 PM

i got super new crappy teachers for general chemistry. D: On assist.org, it says you must have B's in chemistry for science majors. Does that mean there is no chance for me in the science field? I'm trying to get into pharmacy school after.

MakeBank24 · 10-21-2009, 07:46 PM

chances don't look too good.

BerkeleyOrBust · 10-21-2009, 09:51 PM

retake the classes

anonymousername · 10-21-2009, 10:19 PM

i thought you could only retake classes you got below a C...

anonymousername · 10-21-2009, 10:22 PM

OP...the others seem like reasonable matches but UCLA seems like a big reach

why did you only take 13 transferable courses in your 2 years at CC?
the 2 pairs of C's will hurt, but if you kick ass in orgo this semester it will help you a little when you update...

good luck

ur pretty much in at every uc besides berk and la. sd might be a little tough.

RichLaLaLand · 10-23-2009, 03:01 AM

i'm planning to go to pharmacy school after UC, which school would be a good choice? I was thinking about going to USF and see if i can get into UCSF because i heard that SF residents have higher priority. Or should i stick with going to UCSD and go in to their pharmacy school. Or maybe try to get into USC? Thank you for all the feedbacks.

CA schools are the most difficult to get into. I would take the PCAT and try out of state.
