<p>I'm currently attending a CCC and my GPA is roughly 2.7. I'm working really hard to pull it up to at least a 3.0. I am a Biological Sciences major and I read that the requirement GPA wise is a minimum of 3.0. My main concern however, is not so much the total GPA, but rather certain grades. This is what it states on the UCI Transfer site:</p>
<p>Required:
one year of general chemistry with laboratory with a grade of "B" or better in each course and a cumulative GPA of 3.0</p>
<p>I'm currently taking the second half of general chem and struggling for the C and I got a C for the first half. So I am really worried about that. Has anybody got any personal experience where you were actually accepted even though you got a C? And for others, what do you think about this? What is my chance of getting accepted?</p>
<p>Hate to burst your bubble...</p>
<p>I had a friend in the exact same position - same gpa, bio major, C in 1st semester gen. chem. When he asked the UCI rep about that C before applying, she said they absolutely wouldn't let him in cuz of that C, even though he got a B second semester. Sure enough, he didn't get in.</p>
<p>Maybe if you got your gpa up to 3.0? My friend's stayed around 2.7-2.8 through the fall semester he applied.</p>
<p>I know a friend who got into UCLA with a C in general chemistry I and B in Gen. Chem. II. He had a high overall gpa though, with an engineering major. He was accpeted to UCI too, but he chose UCLA.
So don't lose hope. just work hard to get a B in your second semester.</p>
<p>However Annubes,</p>
<p>UCI requires B grades or higher in both semesters of gen. chem for the biological sciences major, whereas the engineering majors do not.</p>
<p>thanks everybody for the helpful responses. I'll just keep at it for now and see what I can do.</p>
