Do I have much hope?

<p>I currently go to UCR, and have a 2.33 GPA average.</p>

<p>I bombed spring quarter completely and recieved a 1.0 due to unfortunate depression and simply that life was not working with me. It was the most frustrating moment I've ever had and I've been suicidal during that time.</p>

<p>But over the summer, I've slowly been working things together.</p>

<p>And now, here I am in fall quarter. So far, I have straight A's and I am studying really hard. I am aiming for a 4.0 this quarter.</p>

<p>The thing is, I want to apply to UC Irvine, Santa Barbara, Davis and San Diego.</p>

<p>Yet, I strongly feel that my 1.0 is going to hurt me deeply, that I do not have much of a chance. Is this true? Even if I get a 4.0 this quarter, will they still pass me by?</p>

<p>And last question, but do Extra Curricular Activities still play a large role in applications by this point? I am a sophomore.</p>

<p>sorry about your depression, I hope you got some help and are better. </p>

<p>Unfortunately your GPA is extreemly low and from what I understand, UC to UC transfer is a much more difficult process when compared to cc to UC transfer. Have you considered going to a CC, getting that GPA up, and applying again?</p>

<p>EC’s don’t really matter when compared to Grades, prereqs, and personal statement for cc transfer. I doubt this will differ for you.</p>

<p>Best of luck and sorry for your ****ty situation. Talk to a counselor or adviser and see what your options are.</p>
