So I am currently attending a CA CC and am applying to colleges to transfer to right now. I currently have a 3.5 GPA but I’m afraid I’m about to get two C’s in 5-unit transferrable courses that relate to my major (chem and bio). That would bring me down to a 3.18 GPA. The classes are much harder than expected and I got a job this semester not knowing how much time i would need for these classes (I recently quit the job to focus on school). I do have some solid volunteer experience on my app if that helps at all… But honestly, how likely is it that I will get into any UC or a state school like SDSU or Long Beach? My stress levels are through the roof right now.
Well, what UCs did you apply to and did you TAG? If so, which UC?
You often are allowed two Cs (they’ll want to know, and then the UC decides). It also depends on your provisional contract and if the major at the UC has GPA reqs. for those classes. Obviously, the lower tier will be more accommodating.
