Hey guys

I need to take more upper div biology classes to boost my GPA and I tried Cal state fullerton but I couldn't get any classes. I am going to try UCI next week.

My question is:

What can I do in this coming year (or very least this quarter) to increase my chance IF I end up not getting any classes at UCI?

I am aiming for 4 classes at UCI. If I only get 3 classes, should I still take it? What about 2 or 1?

My oGPA is 2.9 and sGPA is 2.5-2.6. Bio major. 20 AA 20 TS 26 QR 21 RC 18 PAT.

Thanks guys.

bump?

Think about it this way, you have to start taking classes to boost your GPA at some point. Despite the fact that it's only 3 of the 4, it's a start. Take what you can get and try again next quarter.

A few classes is better than no classes.

Thx Darce

I just hope adcom won't see it as "hes going for the easy way out by taking only 1 or 2 classes"

You can always find a place to explain that later. You'll be fine. Just don't lose sight of the end goal.

3 is actually probably smarter. since you were a bio major and have such a low gpa, it's not likely that you'll thrive by taking 4 upper div bio classes.

I guess showing an upward trend is important. I hope I can get 3 classes, but looking at the class schedule of UCI right now. They are all full. =(

Soooo I went to UCI today and I found out that I can only add 2 classes max, IF they are open by the end of week 2.

1. Even if it's just one class, should I still take it?
2. I asked UCLA and UCSF and they will not give me an answer on whether I can take general psych as an online class. Should I take it?

Just take UCLA extension courses. Currently Im taking Pathophysio which started today and will be available until next monday to add, neurphysio tomorrow and biochem chem153A wednesday, and there are online classes such as fundamentals of biotech and osteoimmunology, just taking 2 online classes and 1 on campus class easily gives you 3 class per term.........

Online classes are looked down upon as I have asked plenty of schools so I won't be doing that. As for UCLA...it is too far for commute and I can't risk of signing a lease for something so unpredictable

Also I heard if in the transcript it doesnt mention that its an online class you should be fine. goodluck
