So depression hit me like a truck after the first quarter at UC Davis, and I ended up speaking to an academic advisor about my options. I withdrew from Winter Quarter to save my GPA (2.85) to keep myself at a good academic standing, and am planning to take classes at community college in the meantime before reapplying to UC Davis for Fall.
However, I’m wondering if I even have a chance at transferring to UCSD now. I’ve read up on the transfer requirements and how senior standing was determined.
Will it be possible to apply as a transfer to UCSD “normally”, as in possibly being admitted as a student in her junior year? And if not, are all my chances dashed?
My concern mainly comes from this segment on the official website:
"A transfer applicant may be considered in senior standing if he or she has completed:
70 semester units (or more) of lower-division coursework; and
20 semester units (or more) of upper-division coursework.
UC San Diego accepts transfer students at the junior (third year) level only. If you have questions about the number of transferrable units, please discuss with a UCSD Admissions Officer."
60 UC-transferrable units are the minimum requirement for transfer to UCSD. At the moment I only have 14.
I’m wondering if I can work hard enough for it to happen. And even if I can meet the minimum requirements, how likely am I to be rejected for withdrawing so quickly at my first year in university? Thanks for anyone who can help me out.
