<p>Transfer student
I have a 2.54 GPA
Poli Sci major
Strong EC
Mediocre personal statement.
I applied to the UCs with high doubt I would be admitted to any. I got accepted to UCR, which made me a little more optimistic. Do you guys think I'll get in anywhere else? UCSC possibly?</p>
<p>I think UCSC is a reach for you, but you have a chance. You also have to remember that SC does not really look at you personal essay and EC’s. They base their admission decisions on your GPA and how many major prerequisites you completed. </p>
<p>Merced would be a good option and they’ll most likely accept you</p>
