UCI Official Transfer Thread 2016

Major: Business Administration

I add that I am a 1 year transfer: Graduated out of high school last year. My high school grades were terrible and I was caught up with the wrong type of crowd, and did drugs (Never got caught, however). I ended up with a REALLY low gpa in highschool, maybe borderline 2.2…

I am also diagnosed with ADHD, also happened late in my Junior year. Which was around the time when I got fed up with the teachers because they would treat me as a person suffering from a disease and could not do the things that “regular” people could so I started to dual enroll both in highschool and in college concurrently in my Junior year as a personal vendetta to prove them wrong.Took on average 3 classes each semester (Max I could take in HS) despite my counselor doubting me and telling me I couldn’t handle it.

GPA: =3.5-3.6 (Low… I know. But If all goes well, It might bump up a little in the winter and spring)
I currently take around 6 classes which is around 20+ credits and will take 2 courses in the winter and 6 again in the spring to complete my 1 year transfer.

-Volunteering at URM (Homeless shelter) I go twice a week and its 5 hour shifts every time
-Volunteering at LA Mission (Also Homeless shelter) Same schedule as URM
-Volunteering at Animal Hospital (Volunteered a couple hours a week)
-Volunteering at Project Neo (Tutoring for HS/Elementary students) Also couple hours per week if I had the time

Reading this, I know my chances are fairly low but one can only hope… How do I stand against the admissions?
