<p>I am not aiming for highly ranking UC's
i am currently an international student ,at the 2nd best university in my country, i am seeking to transfer to any UC for fall 2011, i know i might not even have a chance at all , but i am willing to ask and try. My High School gpa was 3.8 , i was an A- student throughout high School. My Sat 1 , Sat 2 ,and TOEFL are excellent. </p>
<p>My grades dropped bad in college due to serious heath problems ,In college my gpa was 2.2 , i worked hard and raised it to 2.7, i used a gpa calculator and i know by the end of next spring my gpa will be between 3.3 and 3.4, but the question i wanna ask is when the UC application is open do they ask your current gpa and accept you or reject you right away , or the UC's you apply will wait till before the semester you applied to , to check your current GPA and university Standing to see if there is an upward trend. its a stupid question but i need to know.</p>
<p>I have great EC's and good work experience.</p>
<p>When you apply you put whatever grades you have earned up until then, and later they will ask you for an update. They only start looking through applications after the winter update so you might have time to raise your GPA.</p>
<p>I am from Lebanon, in an American University . thanks for helping me out . so when i apply next month, i will finish my spring semester in February 2010, in lebanon we have fall and spring semesters, by this time my gpa will be around 3.0 ,might this be enough or i have more time.?</p>
<p>In November, you will submit an application form to the UC that contains your grades up to and including your summer grades.</p>
<p>In January, you will submit an update to the application that contains any grades that contains your grades for the Fall semester you are currently either in are just starting. The UC’s will start looking at your application now so when they review your information it will contain the fall grades.</p>
<p>The schools will send out their acceptance/rejection letters sometime between March and May.</p>
<p>I believe that the Fall update’s deadline is January 31st of 2011. If your semester ends in February, it will be too late to make it for this update.</p>
<p>one last question, if i get straight A’s in the fall, and get my gpa up to 3.05 from 2.66,and the the UC’s see an excellent upward shift, might my chance increase ,or 3.05 is not enough for UC santa cruz , uc irvine , uc santa barbara or any UC .</p>
<p>Excluding the TAG program, which you can’t get, a California community college student has a little over 50% chance of getting in to any one of those schools with a GPA of about 3.0. With you coming from out of state and a four year university, the odds are much worse because the UC’s have a bias in their admissions process.</p>
<p>If your goal is just to get in at a UC school, you likely will get in somewhere if you spam admissions applications to all of the schools.</p>
<p>Before you apply, you are going to want to review your classes to verify that you are indeed eligible to transfer. A lot of your classes may not transfer over and if this is the case, your units may be bellow the 60 semester unit cutoff. Or, you could have too many units and be above the 80 semester unit cutoff. Either one of these will invalidate your application.</p>
<p>Just ignore everything I said about statistics before, it was hearsay. Based on statfinder’s data, you actually have a decent shot of getting into to a UC.</p>
<p>At UCSC, you have about a 70% chance of being accepted based on the information you gave, if you where a CCC student, you would be closer to 60%.</p>
<p>UCR gives you a 60% chance, a CCC as nearly a 80% chance.</p>
<p>UCM gives you ~50% chance</p>
<p>Applying to just these 3 schools alone will give you a more than 90% chance of being accepted somewhere.</p>
