I'm in my second year at a community college in California, and I already know that this puts me at a disadvantage. So far, I've only taken Physics 1 and I'd recieved a B. I'm currently taking Physics 2, but it's a difficult subject for me and it wouldn't surpise me if I ended with a C. Will a C kill me? How about a W?
However, my current cGPA is 3.81 (31 units) and my sGPA is 3.40 (10 units). Science doesn't seems to be my strong point which is why I'll be majoring in the humanities. What are some good strategies for raising my sGPA?
I'll be staying at my CC for a total of 3 years as I plan to finish both chem and bio here. I know it's suggested to take these classes at a 4-year uni, but how bad will it really be if I took them at a CC?
As for my ECs, I haven't much so far. I've begun volunteering at a hospital, doing about 2 hours a week and only have 8 hours so far. How many hours of hospital volunteering are recommended?
I've also done some miscellaneous volunteer work at food banks and such, but the hours are rather short and sporadic. What other ECs should I begin focusing on?
I've been doing some independant research with my city's medical examiner for the past year and a half. We've begun writing the article and we should have it submitted for publication by next summer. I will have first-person authorship.
That's all I have as of now, so how am I doing? All advice is greatly appreciated.
