Ohh okay that’s good!... kind of discouraged to apply to lbcc because how hard it is not sure my pre req gpa but I have an A for anatomy B+ for physiology and A for microbiology and finished all the other required courses except for the technology course. My overall college gpa is a 3.67 so kind of discouraged.

If I remember correctly from the information session, LBCC takes 50% of its students from applicants with a GPA from 3.5 to 4.0, so these students have the highest chance of being admitted. Don't be discouraged!

Your within the 3.5 - 4.0 range so you have a better chance since they select mostly from that group. Even tho its competitive I think you still have a shot.

You definitely have a higher chance with that GPA ? the only thing is that because it’s lottery based.. it’s honeslty more luck than anything. So sending all the good luck to us!

Yea I was confused on how they select students with the same gpa. So they just do a lottery if of each gpa bracket?

That's essentially how it works, yes. I was told by a counselor that they also favor students who have completed the general education courses. But honestly, a big part of it is just luck. You might have to apply a couple times, but some people get lucky and get in on the first try. ?

That would make sense since they make note of which courses you still need on your application! For example, I still needed the developmental psych? I think? Im not too sure but I know it was one of the general education courses.

Yup! That’s exactly it. They also reserve a couple of spots for students who are re-entering.

LBCC - Long Beach City College?

I graduated from that program, thirty years ago. Great experience. Wonderful foundation. Good luck !
