[li] Comments: Was very shocked that I got in. I thought that with my GPA and a C+ in one of my writing classes that I would have no chance of getting in. I think they might have looked at my HS records since I didn’t quite have 30 units. I had a 4.2 in HS and a 1890 SAT which could have been a possible factor, who knows. Also, I was part of the Trojan Transfer Plan and kept in close contact with my counselor, which could have been a big factor regarding my acceptance. Regardless of how low you think your GPA is, always have faith![/li][/ul]</p>
