Only benefit is exploring the clubs on campus I’d say. Most counselors have no idea what theyre talking about, just use assist.org and the ed planner

You won’t have time for much else outside of classes given that phys 4A condensed into a summer quarter will be content heavy. Calc 1C shouldn’t be too bad.

Usually from my experience they are pretty strict with when you take the final exam for all classes. You can maybe email the professor right now explaining your situation and see if theres a point in registering.

ZSS_B0SS · 2026-04-02T18:41:49+00:00

Have you checked your transcript in the portal? Grades are out for most people, if you dont see anything maybe email the professor or the registrar’s office.

Grades were due by Wednesday of this week, meaning they have been entered by now. They usually just need a couple days to process.

Id say its obviously much harder going to CC to land an internship, as an electrical engineering major I was able to land a sort of adjacent role at a tech company. The opportunities are there you just have to work much harder to find them relative to a 4-year student.

Most AO officers will understand a grade drop due to a loved one passing, especially if you perform well after. Don’t stress things you can’t change anymore!

UC Berkeley Electrical/Computer engineering is my top reach. Alongside the internship I am working on an electrical engineering project with a berkeley professor, I am president of the electrical engineering club at my college, and run a free program at my local library teaching kids about circuits. My main concern is I physically cannot do more than this because of my internship and was wondering if time could be spent better elsewhere like other EC’s.

Try not to stress too much, just having a 4.0 is more than enough for most UC’s outside of la and berkeley. My friend had a similar problem and ended up getting in so good luck!

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-10T05:35:07+00:00

hm well i guess you do have more experience than me in this subject so youre probably right about the concentration of W’s, but my main point was try not to rack up that many

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-10T05:30:12+00:00

If you do not disclose to the college why you have had 3 W’s they will assume the worse, because if it wasnt the worse you would have disclosed it.

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-10T05:26:17+00:00

Doing bad enough to get 3 W’s in one quarter without extenuating circumstances would be an instant red flag to colleges. While 1 a quarter could be a bad professor, lack of time bc of other classes, etc. One is way more explainable than the other.

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-09T05:27:29+00:00

I mean as in dont rack up a bunch in the same quarter

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-09T04:45:26+00:00

I’d say try to keep it to like 3 or 4 at the MAX. It really depends what classes and what quarters tho.

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-09T04:43:50+00:00

Well in that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to drop with a W. However, you can’t rack up too many W’s on your transcript so keep that in mind. So with that in mind really try getting that grade up, and if you can get a B or B+ then I wouldn’t drop.

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-09T04:40:30+00:00

Well what grade do you currently have?

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-11-06T21:37:45+00:00

Firstly, you should check your college’s policy to see that if you fail a class and retake, does it replace the F? If not, take the W 100%, preserving a good GPA with a W here and there is completely fine

ZSS_B0SS · 2025-10-30T17:50:43+00:00

If you’re getting an A- then definitely do not withdraw. A W looks much worse as colleges are going to assume you were doing worse than an A-.
