I went to an elite private high school and didn’t receive adequate accommodations for my learning disabilities. I graduated with around a 2.54 weighted and had to appeal to get into UC Santa Cruz. Since UC’s are public and therefore bound by federal and state disability laws, I received the support that I needed. I didn’t apply out of the UC system because of this and I was admitted to UC Berkeley for transfer admission a few days ago with a 3.96 GPA.

My advice? Don’t give up and go public.
