i’m in TAP, but I did poorly this semester and am definitely out for my first choice major.

Comparative Lit is my alternate and I would like to know what chances I have for this major at UCLA:

I have a 3.39 GPA. This is because I got an F this semester on a major pre-req, but retaking it this spring. I have a reason for getting a fail in this course and will explain it to them on the update. My grades showed a bit of a downward trend for the past 2 semesters, but before I got this F my GPA was at 3.71. I’ve gotten mostly As and Bs, except for this last semester which I got a C and an F, but i’ll be explaining why I did poorly this semester.

I’m in TAP, did all my pre-reqs for this major, finishing the last one (which is the one I got an F in and am retaking). Taking my math transferrable course this Spring, and will be IGETC certified as well.

My ECs are good. Did many hours of volunteer work, In 2 honor societies, as well as other clubs. Was an officer of one club for a semester. I’ve also been on the student government board for two years. I also took an internship.

My essay isn’t spectacular or anything, but pretty good enough I suppose.
