Does anyone know how much past school work weighs in on the admissions decision? I went to a CC over 5 years ago and dropped out, so my transcript from that school has a lot of W’s and F’s due to not attending. I am 29 now and take my education very seriously ( I’ve quit working to go to school full time) and started school again last year. All of my requirements will be done this fall, as well as IGETC, and I’m also taking at stats class at UCLA. I currently have a 4.0 and have just finished my 2nd internship at a creative ad agency, but I’m afraid that my younger, immature self and the bad performance from my past is going to bite me in the butt. Does anyone have information about how they look at students like me? Besides applying to UCLA I will also be applying to USC as a Communications major. Appreciate any feedback!!
