<p>does anyone know what are the chances of UC's accepting a transfer gpa of under 3.0, around 2.8-2.9ish? I'm not interested in UCLA or Cal, mainly UCSB, UCD, UCI and UCSC. prereq's for major will be done by this coming spring.</p>
<p>Maybe UC Merced or UCR</p>
<p>2.8/2.9 is a pretty low GPA. I'd shoot for UCR, Merced and UCI. Your essays/EC's should be beyond par.</p>
<p>Your gpa is low but it's going to coming down to your intended major and if you have TAG and also your essay and EC's.</p>
<p>I m in the same situation and am curious that the gpa at the end of fall matters right? For example, I am applying this fall (gpa is 2.7)...I am enrolled in 4 classes this fall n plan to raise it to 3.0 by the end of the semester... MY QUESTION is thatwhen I update my app and they see my gpa at 3.0, that is the gpa that uc's will base my admission and not the gpa at the time of application RIGHT?I called UCI n asked n they said yes but some ppl at my cc who had the same gpa said no it's not true so I don't know who to believe.. I'm still going to apply but it's better to know what to except.</p>
<p>^ Your fall grades are processed only after the semester ends completely. So, don't worry if your admission GPA isn't on par.</p>
<p>okay, so do I have anything to worry about as long as I get it up to a 3.0 by the time I do an application update? I talked to my counselor like 20 mintues ago, and when I asked her the same question, she seemed to be a little unsure and thats why I might go talk to an irvine transfer counselor tommorow and find out.</p>
<p>RS20 you will be able to update your fall grades, and maybe even your winter grade if timing is right and your on a semester system.</p>
<p>UCD has a guaranteed transfer agreement if you have a 2.9 GPA (w/ the exception of a couple of majors)... you should talk to your counselor about the agreement so that you can get it signed before the deadline.</p>
<p>In addition to the TAG; for non selective majors and some selective majors a 2.8 GPA has been the minimum required to gain admission. Please look at UC</a> Davis : Selective major requirements for a list of our selective majors.</p>
<p>Don't mean to be harsh but if you can't even maintain a 3.0 gpa at a ccc i doubt you will be able to handle a UC anyway. Other than Merced or santa cruz, you should probably look into applying to a csu instead.</p>
<p>no it's because I messed up my first year and I've taken a lot classes in some I got a c but I know it's not hard for me at a uc.. I know what u have to do to maiatain urself in standings.. It's wrong to underestimate someone because issues come up.</p>
<p>If you messed up your first year, then write about it in your essay. They like to see an upward trend in grades. If you have any C's this year, I'd say Riverside and Merced. Not so much Irvine, Davis, or Santa Cruz.</p>
<p>To clear some things, after you update your application the UCs do look at your updated GPA. It really matters what grades you get in the fall, some people don't realize this and they slack off. Remember admission is based on alot of factors and the people with the same GPA at the CC could have been rejected for other factors besides the GPA. Some things include what major you are applying as. Have you completed all the pre-reqs or not. How were your personal essay? Other factors like that.</p>
<p>You can consider a TAG, however the minimum GPA you need is a 2.8 therefore you NEED to have a GPA of 2.8 before you sign a TAG. If you have a 2.7 then you won't be able to.</p>
<p>Major: Biochemistry (non-impacted)
EC: 100+ Hrs Hospital
TAG: Yes, but did not meet GPA requirements
Prereqs: 1 Year of O Chem, Calculus, and Bio (So almost everything, have no physics but counselor told me not to take it at my CC, instead at a Uni)
IGETC: Yes (done by spring)
Essay: (8/10)
Units: 67</p>
<p>What are my chances to get into Santa Cruz, Irvine, or Riverside?</p>
<p>I had some responses from earlier post, but not ones that really answered this question.
This GPA is after my Fall 10’ grades.</p>
