Hi guys! I transferred to UCI via fall 2018 Application round. If you need any advice or help throughout this process, I’d be glad to be there for you! I know how stressful this time of your life can be, and honestly without these types of forums-I don’t think I would’ve dealt well with it. Good luck y’all!

UC GPA: 3.42 (a bit scared since I’m taking Organic Chem this semester but I’m hoping to raise it anyhow!)
ALSO APPLYING TO: All the UC’s if my credits don’t exceed a junior transfer but if I have to apply as a senior, then it’ll probably be the campuses that only accept senior transfers. Also applying to Pomona College, USC (considering), CSULB, CSUF, and some possible out of state privates but that’s all under consideration

I’m applying to UCI as a transfer student for CS (no Tag). I see on their website that at least a B is required in all major pre req courses. I received a C in Calc 1, will automatically cut me out of even being considered? Thanks guys.
