from one of the top schools in the nation.
Moved around alot Sophomore year (to Kansas and back)
and this really affected my GPA

Applying to Aerospace Engineering

My stats

UC GPA - 3.79
-GPA UW - 3.55
In 10th grade I changed schools 2ce I moved to KS and back, Lost all of my furniture,
it was a shock, furthermore I did not get the classes I wanted upon returning and my high school did not use my transfer grades.
I am sending the UC’s a copy though and I hope they use my KS first semester sophomore grades because then my UC GPA jumps to 4.00
This was a real tragedy, because otherwise I would be looking good for Cal and stuff, oh well =)
