<p>Looks like you’re in great shape in terms of getting into Cal. One tip I would give is to really FOCUS ON YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENTS on your application. I cannot stress enough the importace of that. I got accepted as a transfer student, but my GPA was not that high. 3.78ish or lower I think? But I really poured out my heart into my essays, and I think that’s what ultimately helped me get accepted. I know that freshman admission is a lot more competitive than transfer admission, so just keep your GPA up and try to set yourself apart from other applicants through your statements. Good luck and keep up your hard work! :)</p>
