My academic background
People have asked what my academic background was back when I was in school and how those grades will affect my chances of admission at some of the tougher schools. Below, I have posted my grades from both Tulane University and University of Maryland, Baltimore County so you can see exactly how I stand (or stood) as a student. You will see my grades were not so good back then, I was young, immature, and unsure of my direction in life. It took a little longer for me to catch onto the realities of life and how and why to be successful.

Are you really expecting to get into Harvard when you can't even make an A in INTRO TO WINE MAKING? Did you drink too much Merlot before the final? I'm sure the Ivy League is looking for B+ students in wine making.
Ha, yes, I know getting a B+ in a seemingly easy class like Intro/Wine isn't exactly screaming "Ivy League" as you say. I took the wine class because UC Davis has one of the best (if not the best) wine production departments in the world (considering the proximity to Napa Valley) and I figured, that considering I like wine, I'd be an idiot to pass up the class. The class was no where as easy as I had imagined. Basically, just mass amounts of memorization, which, I am only so good at to a certain point. I am not too worried about it.
LOL. Nice explanation. I'm sure you'll be fine grades wise @ Davis. I guess I would just imagine that if you're really serious about getting into Harvard, you'd be taking more classes that are suited towards your admission. I guess if Harvard doesn't work out, you can always make wine!
I think your 4.0 GPA @ top flight colleges such as West LA college, LA City College and Santa Monica College will surely aid you in achieving Ivy League success.
