Am I screwed for UCSD?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>So do you think they let in community college transfers with a gpa below 3.0?</p>

<p>I have everything required for TAG, but unfortunately I took O-chemistry at UCSD through cross enrollment and got a c-(bad semester..gf broke up w/ me blah blah blah) so my gpa dropped to a 2.91 thus voiding my tag.</p>

<p>I do have Igetc though and I have everything done to give me "priority admission for california community college students".</p>

<p>Should I just write off UCSD? I mean I feel like I might as well not even get my hopes up or do you guys think I might have a shot?</p>

<p>What’s your major??? Regardless, with a GPA that low and no TAG, your chances look pretty slim. Sorry…</p>

<p>Cogsci or biology…put down both</p>

<p>I also have pretty good work experience (Ambulance) and my mom works at UCSD if those help.</p>

<p>bio = heLLLLLLLLLL no bro. shiz is impacted like crazy. </p>

<p>cogsci dunno but ehhh prepare for the worse. i hoped you apply elsewhere.</p>

<p>This is why I advise all my fellow college students (& ESPECIALLY high school students) against entering a romantic relationship of any sort until our path/direction in life is set in stone.</p>

<p>right, as if you can control everything. You live in California - earthquake land. Nothing is set in stone. You should live now</p>

<p>I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but I was just radiating my personal opinion and advice. =)</p>

<p>I don’t think he meant set in stone as in unchanging, but just well on your way to being on the path you want to be on. I could be mistaken though.</p>

<p>They don’t list cognitive science, but for bio, i’d guess you are around a 40 percent. Cognitive science seems like it would be around there or or even better.</p>

<p>And… i’m not sure how much stuff besides major prep and gpa matter at UCSD, but having a parent work there has to count for something, right?.</p>

<p>All told, i’d guess you would have about a 50-60% chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Good luck =)</p>

<p>thanks for the practical advise, mom!</p>

<p>You’d actually mean Dad, and you’re welcome :slight_smile: </p>

<p>P.S. I just noticed the epigram you put under your “Location.” Not to sound like a religious fundamentalist–I’m far from one–but I have to say that I don’t find it funny at all. </p>

<p>Why joke about something like that when its reality is so stark? And the number of date rapes/other assaults on women is only rising as of late. Your joke does everything but help this plight. :(</p>

<p>Your mom got hook up at admissions? maybe they can help if you have her vouch for you. </p>

<p>I’m assuming she’s a professor or assistant professor</p>

<p>I do not know what a religious fundamentalist has to do with it</p>

<p>Religious fundamentalists are often considered pleasureless beings very concerned with obeying rules. I made the disclaimer in my post to girlyshout in hope that she wouldn’t think I was a fundamentalist since I said I didn’t find her joke funny.</p>

<p>brah, why you gotta be a religious fundamentalist</p>

<p>:( Sorry, bra</p>
