<p>Hey i was just wondering how a few bad grades affect my chances. I am a California resident at an out of state 4 year college and i have good grades except for 2 Ds that i got =[. I calculated that if i didnt take those 2 classes i would have a 3.93 GPA. Will the university look at me as a whole person and think that these two Ds could have been because of bad professors? How does this affect my chances at Berkeley. I am applying as an Anthropology major with a 4.0 major GPA and numerous ECs/Volunteer hours. Thanks!</p>
<p>just to give you a better idea of what the situation is like…
last semester i took 6 classes (including 3 upper division classes) and i got 5 As and 1 D. Probably going to stick out like a sore thumb</p>
<p>layzbboy…don’t worry too much. If your essays, ECs, and letter of recs portray your strong academic and extracurricular performance–I say you have a decent chance at Berkeley. Besides, being a California resident helps sooo much.</p>
<p>I’d say you’d be set if you were at a ccc, but at an out of state 4 year I think you might be in trouble. Just a guess…</p>
