UCI transfer

I am hoping to transfer to UCI as a psychology major for fall 2021 from smc. I was wondering what are my chances of getting in with a 3.1 gpa, no extra curricular, have been working full time while attending school. Unfortunately I got waitlisted from CSUFullerton but I think I saw that UCI has a higher transfer admissions rate than CSUF so still hoping for the best.
Another question, if I dont get into UCI would it be a good idea to take an extra year and try again or will it look bad to spend so much time at a CC

Transfers by major | University of California can give you an idea of the admit and matriculant GPA profile for transfer students to the various UC campuses.

For fall 2020 admissions, admits to UCI psychology had middle 50% GPA range of 3.57-3.89, and matriculants had middle 50% GPA range of 3.53-3.77.
