Chances for CC Transfer to top UC schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Community College 3rd Year Transfer
Major: Political Science
GPA: 3.9
Applying to: UCB, UCSD, UCD, UCR
ECs: Relatively nonexistent after high school
Honors/Awards: President Dean’s List, Phi Theta Kappa
AP Lit score of 5 in high school
No work experience

I’m curious what my chances are to get into these UC schools (particularly the first three) with my GPA, solid personal statements (at the risk of sounding conceited, I am particularly strong at writing) and pretty awful EC’s. I was involved in marching band in high school, and was in a leadership position for my HS percussion ensemble in my junior and senior years, but after HS I have had no club or organization involvement at my CC, and all of the extracurricular activities I do now are simply personal, at-home or online kind of stuff (instruments, chess, online debate). I consider these extracurriculars but obviously they are not impressive in an academic sense. I also have no work experience.

I appreciate all feedback.

Assuming you’ve taken the correct courses, your gpa makes you a strong candidate for all UCs. Lack of ECs may keep you out of UCB and UCSD. Since you have time, i strongly suggest you use TAG for Davis - UC transfers can be tricky business.

@NCalRent Fortunately I did submit TAG for Davis. Thank you for your input.
