Great thread, great idea. Here’s where I am. California native, but (at least to best of my knowledge), considered out of state for admission purposes to UCs. Only UCs applied to are UCB and UCLA (I know, limiting). Started weak, around 2.9 at University of Michigan. Next semester, 3.5. Last semester, straight A’s. Many good and many bad points here, but straight upward trajectory, in terms of grades. Additionally, extracurriculars were strong last year and good this year, with straight A’s and 16 units last semester being taken on top of a 40+ hour work week (35-40 hours in full time job, 10-15 in work study job every week). Personal statements very strong, very relevant to political science major at both. Prereqs are ALMOST all there, to best of my ability, as there is an interstate translation issue (meaning not everything may transfer, is offered, etc.)
Very nervous, but think I have at least SOME shot. Also came in with several classes from Pierce and Valley (CCCs) taken while in high school.
