You shouldn’t have a problem. You’ll probably be able to maintain a 4.0 at CC. Plus you have the internship. My daughter got into UCLA’'s Comm Studies this fall. She had two internships in PR (a small environmental start-up and an indie film publicity co). Your internship is great, and your Davis grades very good. You should not have any difficulty (although Comm Studies is excluded from UCLA’s TAP program, so you don’t need to do it. My daughter didn’t).

Be aware UCLA has added a questionnaire and a project that needs to be submitted with the application, starting fall 2015.

My daughter also took a Stanford Continuing Studies course on Media Crisis Management (half day) and joined the PRSSA, a national PR association for students. Both are small and mostly irrrelevant, but they show commitment to the major. They really like seeing that, so maybe look for something like that. She also got on the board of the associated students at her CC (super easy).

I’m surprised you said that about UCSD’s Comm dept. I thought it was supposed to be good.
