[CCC to UCSB Econ TAG] How much did I screw myself over?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

Hello! I just found out about college confidential and this is my first post.

Goal: TAG into UCSB (dream school) for Econ (technically pre econ)

Background and stats about me:
CCC1: Attempt Hours 55 Passed Hours 23 GPA 2.32
4 Ws: Anthro, Astro, E. Sci, Crit Read & Writ
2 As: E. Sci Lab, Ethics
2 Bs: Micro Econ, Macro Econ
C: Non Transferable Alg 2
NP: Non Transferable Alg 3 (being made up this fall quarter)
F: Crit Read & Writ made up into a C

CCC2: Attempt Hours 14 Passed Hours 9.5 GPA 2.47 (Same college district dual enrollment)
F: art history made up into a B,
C: accounting 1

Optional sob story:
I was a bad student all my life until I got reported for my plan to kill myself since I was not going to graduate high school. Turns out I have ADHD or something and no one diagnosed that. Struggling with whatever I have and low self worth in CCC. I hate myself because all my friends and classmates went to top 25 schools straight out of high school. Screwing up my first year of college just made me sadder and more dejected.

Am I going to be rejected for tag this fall? (I’m pretty sure I am since I dont have 45 quarter units)
Can I still apply for tag next year?

ASSIST.org says I need a 2.75 in micro and macro econ, and the math sequence. UCSB says I need a 3.2 to tag there. Are these numbers correct? Am I missing any other details? Any advice?

Thank you in advanced!

Non-transferable courses will not count towards your GPA. Also, when you retake courses, the old grade is not used for GPA calculations - only the new one. You should recalculate your GPA given this information.

You should really get tested for ADHD if you haven’t already, and start taking the necessary medication so that you’re able to function. You may also want to look into therapy. Your mental health should come first.

You may want to look into taking an extra year in CC to boost your GPA. Consider taking a lighter course load this year (so you can devote more time to the classes you take, hopefully securing better grades) and applying next year.

This also might be a good idea because it would allow you to figure out how you learn best. I’m sure that if you had your ADHD (or whatever it is) controlled, you’d do better in school. Other than that, it’s good to evaluate how you study, discover which strategies are effective for you, and try to progress from there.
