<p>i'm a international student, i wanna to apply transfer to UC this fall(2011 fall), but my GPA is only 2.97( i think it will promote to around 3.2 after i retake some class in 2011 fall).do i have any opportunity to apply some UC university?btw , my major is computer science, is there any university is good at this major except for UC?</p>
<p>2.97 is quite low for comp sci TBH, but raise it to 3.2 and you may got a shot at UCSC. Their computer science program is great.
There are a lot of CSUs / privates that have good comp sci program. My recommendation is CSUMB ( I have taken some classes there). Also, try researching Cal Poly SLO (great engineering school) and other CSU campus. Good luck!</p>
<p>i am sure i can promote my GPA over 3.2-3.3 before transfer.because i have 2 classes got “F” and i haven’t retake them yet. what i m worried about is i m not sure whether i can
apply to transfer UC in 2011 fall,cuz my GPA is low now(2.97).btw, my college is using quarter system.</p>
<p>you can apply as a normal applicant, but sorry no TAG, since most schools’s TAG GPA criteria is > 3.0 for now. Retake those classes with “F” ASAP, got A in them if possible, then be sure to explain in your essay why you got these couple of Fs, and you may get a shot at a UC</p>
<p>thanks man. i feel better now , unless i still have chance to transfer to UC next year.</p>
<p>huh, i mean at least i have chance. can i apply TAG after upgrade my GPA?we need to sumbit our grade to UC twice,the first time is sep 2011(before fall), second time is dec 2011(after fall).it that too late to apply TAG at dec 2011?</p>
<p>That’s too late … TAG is due at the end of September. Gotta up your grade and apply as a normal applicant. With GPA ~3.2, 3.3 in comp science, you will have a good chance at UC Riverside, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, and (maybe)(hopefully) Irvine</p>
<p>thanks a lot man.i will try my best</p>
