<p>I don’t believe they hold it against you since many people are part time students.</p>
<p>A 2.7 with over sixty units is going to be hard to pull up, but you likely have two years worth of CS courses to pull it up. If you can get it up to 2.9 by next fall, you will have a decent chance (2/3) at getting into UCSC for Fall 2012, but this will require around a 3.5 GPA over the next three full time semesters. If you can’t get in that year, you will still be able to improve your GPA and if it is above 3.1*, you will be able to apply/tag into both schools.</p>
<p>*They’ve been increasing the TAG GPA at the UCs for a while now so always shoot higher but it is not like not qualifying for this is the end.</p>
