<p>Yikes...that gpa is really gonna haunt you...still apply, but apply other places also! :-D</p>
<p>thx any other opinions..i heard ucr is pretty ez?</p>
<p>You may have a chance at UCR. The thing is, which UC do you want? Now that you're on a good path, why not do the 2 years at a community college and end up at the school you really want?</p>
<p>id be really happy with any uc...any more opinions guys?</p>
<p>Riverside takes almost 80% of applicants. Write a wonderful essay and you should be in! Good luck!</p>
<p>any more opinions comments?</p>
<p>yeah, your gpa is crazy low for UCs; it's right on the MINIMUM gpa to even be considered. Knowing that, your chances are pretty low for the more known UCs, you should be able to get into maybe riverside, santa cruz, or merced, though.</p>
