I think I'm staying at my CC one more year.

Got too many unexpected C's because of the low grades on the final.

Berkeley offered me an admission, but since I have sub 3.0 this semester, they would rescind me.
I appealed, but I think they won't take it. It's at 2.95 😛

I'd take this moment as my learning experience. Let's move forward! I got this!

But in all honesty, one bad semester doesn't mean much. As long as you get an upward trend, you should be fine.

Non trad- 2nd year in California CC
Major: Earth Science
Finished pre-req: Chem 1 & 2.. both ended in C (lol)
Going for MD & DO at the same time.

Initially, I wanted to stay one more year and finish Gen Bio, Gen Physics and Ochem.
Got into a mess with financial aid for having over 90 credits.
So I pulled out my insurance, which is to transfer to the UC I've applied to. So I've planned to just transfer out without staying one more year. But, I had to have 3.0 this semester, but I ended up with 2.95. If they won't accept my appeal, then I'd have to go with my initial plan, which was to stay 1 more year at CC.

You still have many science courses to take. See how you fair in the future. See where you went wrong
 
You can do it! Just remember: this might not be a "I'm not working hard enough I need to pour more hours in until I get good grades" thing, it might be a "I need to completely change how I work at this" thing. In either case more hours won't hurt.

I hope financial aid works out. I really don't have advice for that.
