<p>The GPA i listed above is the GPA I will be having when i transfer to colleges. By November, I will apply for UCI, UCSD, UCLA. By Feb, my GPA would be ( I will try hard) about 3.8, and I will try to go to UW.
1/ I wonder if I will be accepted to the school, and perhaps some scholarships. It is very important if I get some aids in funding my study.
2/ I was also thinking about taking a gap year after I have finished my school in CC, and go to travel do charities, and apply later for those schools as My GPA would be about 3.9 after the last semester.
3/ If I apply as chemistry major, once I get accepted by TAG program in UCI ( hopefully), can I change my major to biochem, and is it hard to do so?</p>
<p>Please let me know the best choice in my decision right now, I really appreciate your help! Thank you so much in advance!!</p>
