Might look into having grades waved from my first run through at a flashy art college back in 2007 due to some unforeseen health issues, which would boost my GPA to 3.1</p>

<p>waived*</p>

<p>I should also note I’m a returning student at age 25, so I don’t believe my ACT scores are valid any longer.</p>

<p>You should post on the UC Transfer forum for more informed answers. I do know that there is no way to waive grades from other schools. They are on your permanent record. If you are a transfer, your ACT/SAT scores have no bearing on admissions. You do need at least 60 semester or 90 quarter units by the end of Spring 2015 to transfer to a UC. Did you to TAG for UCD? That would have given you a guaranteed. For UCD, I believe you need a minimum GPA of 3.0. Good Luck.</p>

<p>I’m from Minnesota, which means I’m going to have to wait to apply for a year. I’m thinking my best move would be enrolling at a community college first and using the TAG to get in.</p>

<p>It is really unlikely you’ll be admitted with those stats.
Good luck.</p>

<p>As said before, those grades from art school will definitely be difficult - if not impossible - to void. I would HIGHLY recommend the TAG program. You may be eligible for academic renewal, but that may not apply to classes outside of your junior college. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>TAG is going to be an expensive 2 year detour and you are already 25. I’d get a degree at your state school and move to CA after you graduate. </p>
