Bad record... someone chance me?

<p>I’m applying for UCLA, UCI, UCSB and UCR…</p>

<p>GPA: 3.833
5 W
4 Bs
2 F’s that I retook and became As…
13 As…</p>

<p>I’m aiming for UCLA as an International Development Studies major, UCI being my second choice as a International Studies major. Most of my bad grades and Ws occured during the first year. Unfornately, I don’t have any legitimate reason for them as I was just a bad procrastinator. I never ended up redoing the Ws either because I found out late that I had been taking the wrong classes. Someone chance me for both schools(or all if its pretty bad) please. And don’t be afraid to hurt my feelings!</p>

<p>I also like to add that it’s 72 units total, which I know is going over the 70 units max limit. Not sure what’s going to happen there, will I automatically be disqualified? None of the classes were honors either and the 2 F’s were actually major prep courses too. =/</p>

<p>I am an iDS major. </p>

<p>you will need a good essay.</p>

<p>I had 19w’s - all but 7 retaken, they DO NOT MATTER . None of the UCs care how many W’s you have. I had some F’s but in non transferable courses.</p>

<p>I would say you have a solid chance at admission, just have excellent essays, and are you Tap certified?</p>

<p>Also, look up the admission rate for IDS- i think it is very high and it is one of the majors you can always change into.</p>

<p>According to my calculation, your GPA is a 3.7</p>
