Hey guys.

I was a pretty average, underachieving student in high school.

Because of that, I couldn’t get into any honors classes at my community college during my freshman year.

However, I’ve gradually began getting rid of my apathy and have been doing relatively well.

UC’s I’m interested in transferring to are LA, Berkeley (longshot), Irvine, SB, and possibly SD.

Anyway… In short, I asked my friend about UCLA’s TAP program, and she said that in order to be certified, one needs to take 6 Honors classes before transferring.

Is this the case? Or is it different for every community college?

Also, I need input. Should I even attempt to be certified and get admitted into UCLA with these stats?:

Political Science 101 - B
Communications 100 - A
Economics 120 - C
Anthropology - B
Math 219 (Statistics) - W (had to drop it due to time conflict; re-took it the next semester and got an A)

Sociology 100 - A

English 101 - A
Biology 109 - B
Math 219 (Statistics) - A
Astronomy 109 - C

Biology 109L - A
History 102 - A

Cumulative GPA after first year: 3.36
Probable GPA after third semester: 3.5

My major is most likely going to be either English or Poli Sci

Thanks.
