<p>Here are my basic academic stats:</p>

<p>Aspiring to major in Chemical Engineering</p>

<p>Currently attending a community college</p>

<p>Current cumulative GPA: 2.82</p>

<p>Degree’s obtained post Spring 2013: A.S. Engineering, A.S. Physics, A.A. Mathematics</p>

<p>Max GPA attainable by Spring 2013: 3.07</p>

<p>Schools applied to: UC Irvine, UC Davis, Cal Poly Pomona</p>

<p>Here are my extracurricular affiliations:</p>

<p>Current campus engineering club President</p>

<p>Current leadership position with nationally recognized engineering organization</p>

<p>Current student lead for campus wide recycling program </p>

<p>Current student lead for NSSSC Team at my CC</p>

<p>I just wanted a general opinion as to the probability break down of getting admission to the following colleges previously listed.</p>

<p>Per my personal statement, my explanation for the low trending GPA is the fact that I have been working and heavily involved with community and extracurricular activities on campus. That coupled with the fact that I basically applied only the knowledge I retained from lectures in my classes, which sounds stupid but in honesty I had not yet developed good studying techniques nor understood the importance of a consistent studying schedule. I was told by my CC transfer specialist that my personal statement was outstanding however I know that they do not base admissions solely off of personal statements. I feel it also worthy to note that I will have completed all of my low division engineering courses after this spring. </p>

<p>Any opinion is appreciated.</p>

<p>Honestly man, i think the GPA might be a little to low to get into those schools. Try applying as a differn’t major would be my suggestion and switch when on arrival. Worst comes to worst go to a state school and excel. I have a cousin who is an engineer who went to an expensive private and ended up at a job with people who went to state schools. It all depends on your internships at the end. Also you can always attend a good grad school.</p>
