@briank82 Thanks. Like I said, I had an appointment with a rep from UCB at my school today. So glad they were here at my school when it was the last day for me to withdraw(ashamed) from my precalculus class. He said it was not a big deal specially when my recent GPA is about 3.77, with UC GPA of 3.73.
i’m the guy who posted http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/1855151-what-are-my-chanes-to-uc-berkeley-or-ucla.html#latest
and he says Haas only looks at recent 5 years of grades and I have a substantial upward trend with 4.0 GPA in 15 units(7 UC units) in the semester working 15 hours. I have not taken math in 10 years since high school.
I’m a returning student who has been working(I still work) and he says I shouldn’t worry too much about a W as long as my math grade trend is downwards. Also he says although I did poorly, was not dedicated a long time ago, I took off 5 years from school and came back and banging out 3.77 overall(52 units latter), 3.73 UC GPA(44 units/latter), I shouldn’t look too bad although average GPA admitted to Haas is 3.85.
I have no problem with math, theorem or algebra itself. I get the theory, I understand, I’m good with algebra, I’m good with computing numbers. The problem I think is that because I lack time compared to other students, I end up not investing enough time to practice and I get horribly confused on some of the easiest problems. Geometry was walk i the park for me and Algebra 2 wasn’t bad at all for me.
So I was just concerned. I wanted to finish everything by fall 2016 but because I just dropped out of precalculus class, I will have to crash it in spring(Enrolled into a wait list quickly) and Calc 2 got pushed back to spring 17, provided I take calculus by fall 2016.
