Due to personal problems I’m failing my classes. Right now I’m taking History of Film, Abnormal Behavior, Intro to Psych, Psychology as a Profession (non-transfferable), Helping Relationships (non-transferrable) and I have a D or F in all of these classes. I’m definitely retaking these classes next semester though, so it won’t hurt my GPA too much. However, will these F’s look really bad and will it hurt my chances at getting into UCI, UCLA, UCSD, or Cal Poly even if I retake those classes and get A’s in them? I’ll be applying to transfer in the fall of 2008, so I’ll have 3 semesters and 2 summers of grades to show the UC admissions people that despite having had a bad semester, I can do well in college. Also, I’ve just switched my major from psychology to computer science and I’m very confident that do well in the computer science prerequisite courses.
