<p>What are my chances of transfering into the UCs with a 2.75 cumulative GPA? If the option is impossible would it be better if I just transfer to a CSU? PS. I was wondering if being a victim of the hurricane would in anyway be advantageous to the transfer admission committees? Also upon filing an application to tranfers, i know they look at the immediate GPA that's present, but wouldn't they also look at the GPA compounded from fall2005 and spring 2006 semesters also? Also i am transfering from a ccc, but the crappy part is i'm not eligible for any TAG agreements due to my naturalizations papers being lost in the hurricane incidence so i can't establish residency. </p>
<p>CAN SOME1 PLEASE HELP DIRECT ME ON THE PROPER PATH THAT I SHOULD BE TAKING IN ORDER TO ENSURE TRANSFER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?!</p>
<p>Well it seems that my only chance is UCR, because it seems to be "the dumpster" school out of all the UCs, but it would really sok if i still can't even get into Riverside! OMFG how can life be so cruel........shouldn't education be equally opportunistic for people of all levels, even those not so intellectually blessed? Oh well.......</p>
<p>I don't think that TAG or TAP agreements require naturalization papers, do they? I know for a fact that UC transfers last year had an average GPA of 3.3. And some majors will demand a higher one. A 2.75 isn't exactly competitive, however, you shouldn't have a problem with the lower UC's. </p>
<p>As far as your hurricane sob story - don't. Adcoms get those stories all the time and it might even hurt your application if you cry on your personal statement.</p>
<p>In response to your comment about equal opportunity: no offense but that was the most ignorant comment ever! Of course the state gives people of all levels the chance to attend school! Thats why we have Cal-states and junior colleges! If UC's admitted anyone and everyone, there would be no reason for rankings of schools.</p>
<p>You definitely CAN get into Riverside and I think you have a chance at the others as well. Your Fall 2005 grades will count, but your Spring 2006 grades won't. </p>
<p>I think the fact you are a hurricane victim could be a very significant help for you with getting into the UCs. You should of course mention that in your personal statement. </p>
<p>The application is due Nov 30 if you want to transfer Fall '06.</p>
<p>In my opinion, the UC system overall is probably the best public school system in the US. While some are better than others, consider it a blessing that you even have the opportunity to apply(and I don't mean to sound rude when saying that).</p>
<p>If College Board's stats are correct (74% transfer rate), and you can pull up the GPA to at least a 3.0, I'd say you have a good shot.</p>
<p>Yeah that is something that people should consider about the UC system... Riverside is by far the worst of the UC's, however it does not even rank that low.</p>
