Chance me for UC Davis CS transfer

What do you think of my chances for admission?

Please Read the Whole Thing:

MAJOR: COMPUTER SCIENCE

GPA PRIOR TO FALL SEMESTER/QUARTER: 3.92

TAG: YES (approved)

The TAG stated that I needed to get a C or greater in all courses taken.
I got a 2.68 for this current semester/quarter.
Overall I have higher than the 3.2 required overall GPA
However, I got a D in Calc 1 (am retaking).

I have completed IGETC

I took classes at Evergreen Valley College (Semester) and Foothill College (Quarter)
For Fall 2015

I received the following graded:

Evergreen Valley College: (no +/- grades)

Calculus 1: D (5 units)

Chemistry 1A (general): B (5 unit)

Foothill College:

Computer Science 1A–Intro to C++: B (5 units)

History 4C (1700 to the fall of the Berlin Wall): A+ (4 units)

I have decided to take the following (all at Evergreen Valley college):

Spring 2016 (upcoming starting Feb 1st):

Comp 75: intro to object oriented programming (4 units)
This is a similar class to the one I took at Foothill. I did not have a good understanding of the concepts.
I believe this course will be taught in JAVA.

Calculus 1: first calculus class (5 units)
I have to repeat this class I received a D in

Chemistry 1B (the last general chem class) (5 units)
This will complete my science GE requirement

Summer 2016:

Calculus 2: (last calculus class before multi-variable)

I will have over 90 quarter / 60 semester units.
I have completed the math and english transfer class.
I will also complete the general ed science requirement.
I have also taken the following Honor courses:

  • US history 17A Honors
  • music history (music 8) Honors
  • English 1B Honors
  • Physical Anthropology 2A honors

I originally planned to take calc 2 this semester and multi-variable calculus during the summer. However, I did not pass Calc 1 to be able to follow this schedule. Also multi-variable calculus is not offered in the summer any way.

I submitted the academic update and explained the concepts I had trouble with in Calculus 1 and explained how I used the break to review and plan to pass calculus 1.

I also called the tag counselor and he explained I still have a chance and that each application in these type of situations will be looked at on a case by case basis at UC Davis.

I also applied to the following (all as mathematics major):
UC Riverside
UC San Diego
UC Santa Barbara

I need Calc 1 and 2 in order to be allowed to be admitted and apply to SD and Riverside. I can take them in the summer according to them.

What do you think my chances are?

You sure you don’t wanna wait another year to apply so you can at least finish Data Structures + Calc series within community college ? Going from your school’s OOP to ECS 60 @ UCD with Sean Davis or someone may mess you up. PhantonVirgo goes to UCD though and majors in CS I’m sure he’d have a better idea than me. Regardless, Computer Science at Davis isn’t a selective major until next year (and that reflects in their 2017 TAG for the major) so I think your GPA will be good enough for admission.

Any other opinions and ‘predictions’ and chances are greatly appreciated. I know I know I have to wait until April for the decision.

Please and Thank You.

@zerglingdude D in calc violates your tag contract, but I think you might have a good shot at regular admission given that you retake calc 1 with a good grade (A or B). Note that summer classes are often harder, since instructors try to jam the same amount of material into 6 - 8 weeks (versus 16-18 weeks). I would not take a 5 unit class during summer if I were you. Can you take it this semester?

I am retaking calc 1 this semester
