I was wondering, is it even possible to transfer to any of the UC’s with GPA under 3.0? I mean, maybe 5 years ago, when admissions were higher. But today, is that still a chance? Even UCSC states they want a 3.0 or higher for transfers. BTW my GPA is a 2.88 and my major is Geman which is non-impacted.
You might have a chance at UC Riverside and Merced. The TAG requirement for UC Merced is 2.8 but UCR is 3.0
I would apply since you never know but consider some Cal states as backups.
