im actually applying to usc for their masters in the physician assistant program.

info:
-socal resident all my life (that prob wont help but just in case)
-went to cc, avg gpa 3.1 (spent 3 yrs, last 2 semesters started to pick up; was on academic probation first year, was really just uninetersted in studies, didnt know what to be until last year n half @ cc)
-bs in biology, 3.8 gpa (in progress)
-worked as an ER Scribe for 1 year ~800hrs
-volunteered at free clinic ~ 200 hrs
-working as a respiratory therapist for the next year looking to get

-GRE score of 1180

my h.s gpa was a 3.3 but i dont think that will count much since i went straight to cc,

im scared my cc grades will hurt me-i mostly had C’s, B’s and a few A’s. got like 2 D’s and a couple W’s-my gpa sucked cuz i was dumb n didnt drop the classes that i was struggling with and/or ended up just getting a W rather than an F

i turned myself around my last year before transferring to a private univeristy CLU, where I am so far doing great, am a part of some clubs/org, and also interning at a pharmaceutical company (just in case this PA doesnt work out-im srsly paranoid lol)

so you think ill have a chance?

usc is the only school i really want to go to, and i know if i dont get in, i will try to improve my apps and just try until i get in. (hopefully)

what do you think? will my cc grades haunt me??
