I think the trick from CalCentral and address changes actually worked…
For future reference, do not give up your hope for whatever reasons, like tons of F or W. I had 3 F (already repeated) and 9 W, but I have a significant upward trend. I joined Honors program then TAP with UCLA, Honors society, UCLA CCCP, and other stuff. My only regret is that I wished I could have found out about Berkeley TAP one or more years earlier. My CC doesn’t actively promote these programs. There are resources and opportunities available for you, and you need to find them.
