I was planning to transfer to a UC for a chemistry major but I messed it up and ended up getting a 2.93 GPA after the summer classes. My GPAs will go up after the fall 2015 but since we are submitting our applications for UCs before the end of the fall semester, how does my 2.93 GPA for chem look? I’m targeting UCSB and UCR!
Your chances at both schools are pretty slim.

It looks like a 2.9 will get you into Merced (via TAG)
I’d also take a look at some of the less competitive CSUs, maybe SF State or Sac State.
