Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hey guys, this is my third yr at IVC with major of Public health policy. I admit that I lacked dedication and time in studying that my GPA is below 3.0(faling BIO93 and STAT so have to repeat them to make up). Upcoming this year I am planning to pull my grades up to 3.0 or higher in order to apply for UCI(my dream school), CS's, and other out of state universities. I have another problem other than my low GPA. My plan was to finish Trigonometry(pre-req) so I can take Pre-cal in this upcoming fall then cal in spring, but I failed to do that. So I have to retake statistics(requirement) in this fall instead of pre-cal. Will I still be able to apply with IGETC?</p>

<p>Sorry for my grammar mistakes, but I am in desperate help guys!! So overalll, my questions are
-Is it possible to get accepted by UCI with low GPA?
-I am an international student, and I heard that UC schools are money-need universities. Does that mean I have higher chance in getting accepted by UCI?
-I don't think alot of people are majoring in public health policy in transfering program. Does that also give me high chance in getting accepted?
-can I still be admitted with unfinished math(precal and cal), if I state that I will finish them during summer or at UCI
-is it easier to get admitted by out of state universities than UC schools?
-if I apply without IGETC, do I have low chance?
-I have never seen any IVC students who got rejected by UCI. Why is that? and will I able to get accepted by UCI?</p>

<p>Someone else can answer the more detailed questions you have, but I can say with some certainty that a sub 3.0 GPA and unfinished IGETC will not get you into UCI. You will need to finish IGETC and you will need to pull higher than 3.0, without a doubt.</p>

<p>There might be a program that guarantees them admission or so? IVC has something called an Honors-to-Honors Transfer Agreement (<a href=“http://www.ivc.edu/academics/honors/Pages/ucla-uci.aspx”>http://www.ivc.edu/academics/honors/Pages/ucla-uci.aspx&lt;/a&gt;). I didn’t go to IVC, I went to different community college in the OC area and my CC also had a transfer agreement with UCI that was not TAG. You might want to look into that. </p>

<p>It’s hard to imagine no one has been rejected who applied to UCI from your CC. Anyhow, I saw that minimum GPA for a transfer is 3.0. They want pre-reqs done and I assume IGETC, as it looks like the major only has 6 pre-requisites. Also, the fact that you failed two pre-requisites will be noted by admissions. You have to put yourself in their shoes. Low GPA, failed some pre-reqs and had to retake. Are you a candidate they can feel secure about? You can turn it around but you really need to show them a new you. Give it your all. I would suggest not applying with any missing elements.</p>
