I just hope they don’t discount me based on the fact that 7 AP scores basically fill a year’s worth of IGETC. It may seem like too much of a veil over my propensity to succeed.
HAhaha I wish. I am just an individual heavily deterred by the prospect of borrowing thousands of dollars in an uncertain marketplace for a degree that is becoming less valuable and more expensive. Receptionist by day, student by night, pizza man by weekends

I live in and am a los angeles native that went to elementary school through high school in los angeles @k4201505 @luckie1367 I didn’t mean to put that in there…
@luckie1367 I don’t think bruinday is the same day for freshmen and transfers right? That April 11th day seems to be for freshmen since transfer decisions won’t be out until April 17th (or later).
@81Mamba, That’s correct. April 11th is for freshmen and last year there was a Bruin transfer day in May. It’s possible they’ll release transfer decisions before April 11th, but it’s more likely they’ll follow the last few years’ pattern, 3rd week of April.
@luckie1367 me to haha quite nervous and excited for admissions Edited my TAU like 4 times just to make sure my wording in the comments section was right… Hopefully I sit back and just focus on not failing my current classes
What are my chances of getting in?
Transferring from a CCC as a junior.
First choice major: electrical engineering
Alternate major: mechanical engineering
Current GPA: 3.95

EC: MESA and that’s about it. (I work part time to pay house bills and help out with the rent.) I feel as though I’ll be at a disadvantage for lacking EC’s.

I did poorly in high school so that’s why I’m at a community college. Gang violence has affected me throughout my high school years but I managed to turn my life around. That’s what I wrote about in my personal statement.
