<p>I went to UCSC for my freshmen year and earned a 2.98 gpa (proposed bio major). Overtime i realized that I absolutely did not like UCSC at all and so im deciding to go back to community college as a sophomore, but im a bit skeptical whether I still have a chance at UCLA with my 2.98 ucsc gpa. </p>
<p>Would i have a greater chance if i went back to a community college?</p>
<p>As for the other UC's, am i still able to do the TAG program and would I still be able to transfer as a junior?</p>
<p>CC students get priority for UC transfer evaluation, plus it’s easier to do better academically at a CC in my opinion. </p>
<p>Most other UCs accept a TAG despite attending a 4 year.
Only one that comes to mind that doesn’t is UC Irvine. </p>
<p>As for UCLA and a 2.98 your first year…
To put it bluntly, chances are slim especially since biology is impacted and the average GPA to get in is 3.63.
I would suggest trying to pull a 4.0 from now on and doing significant ECs.</p>
<p>If you care about getting into UCLA more than the major…
Perhaps switching into physiological science, molecular biology, microbiology, or biological anthropology would give you a better chance at acceptance (not as impacted) and you would also be able to utilize the bio pre-reqs you’ve already taken. </p>
<p>Make sure you check assist.org, the CC’s IGETC contract, and have at least 60 units and you should be able to transfer right on time.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>i did UCSB -> CCC -> UC Berkeley. You will have a greater chance if you go back to community college because you will have priority. As for UCLA, you’re probably not going to get in unless you goto a school with TAP and do the TAP program.</p>
