Hi, I am a student who is anticipating to make sucessful transfer over my dismissal history from UC San Diego. I had attended UCSD from September 2010 to June 2012. At the end of my sophomore year, I was dismissed from the university for not passing Entry Level Writing classes (You can simply think that this is some kind of ESL classes). After I was dismissed from UCSD, I have worked for 2 years and helped family business to pay off my loan from UC San Diego.
Then, I have begun to study in nearby california community college since January, 2015. After making a successful year in the college, I am now pursuing to make successful transfer results. So far, I have applied to USC, UVA, UNC, NYU, UIUC, Georgia Tech, and UT-Austin However, as my case is very rare, I am not sure how my dismissal history is going to influence on my admission and worried. Therefore, I would like to ask if anyone have seen similar cases or any opinion about my case. Also, regardless of the tuition and rocation, are there any other colleges that would be good to apply as a bio major?
Btw here are my academic records
Major - Biochemstry
68 quarter units from UCSD with 3.3 GPA
28 Semester units from CC with 4.0 GPA
(It is going to be 42 semester units after 2016 Spring semester. Also, I expect 4.0 GPA from 2016 spring semester since I have only easy classes left.)
SAT - 2010 (taken in high school)
ACT - 29 (taken in high school)
High school GPA - UW 3.95 / W 4.1 (Don’t remember exactly)
No internship or research experience.
Actively involved in student orgs including being a vice president of astronomy club, a president of coding club and 2 more staff position from other orgs.
Also, to demonstrate that English writing, which is the source of my dismissal from UCSD, is no longer the problem belongs to me, I have passed all ESL courses and freshmen writing courses in current school. Further, I have taken several more literature classes/
1 Rec from my literature professor, who is also the chair of English department(idk if this is going to help tho), another Rec from English professor, and 1 addtional Rec from physics professor.
