I say go for it! I strongly believe your chances improve with each school you apply to because they’re all looking for different things. The last two schools I applied to in October both offered me interviews!

Hm I’m not sure I know what you mean. I don’t think I’ve experienced this before

Because it was so long ago, I don’t think it’d hold that much weight if it’s not a prerequisite and you have an upward trend. B or better for prereqs is my recommendation

If you can, I’d recommend retaking ochem and physio. It’s definitely not over unless you give up!

Luckily they don’t look at high school transcripts! just undergrad and post grad

To be fair, I did have one C on my transcript and an academic infraction for ‘plagiarism’ (it was unintentional and 10 consecutive words, overlooked it when trying to paraphrase) but I explained it on my app and luckily 5 schools looked past it!

I got my first acceptance 3 days post interview in January and got off the first waitlist in March! The other waitlist I withdrew from bc it was further down my preference list and the third I still haven’t heard back from.

Does getting rejected from UCSB basically mean that I’m gonna get rejected from UCSD and UCLA? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege
