<p>I am currently a freshman at UCSC and I've wanted to transfer for a while since starting here but unfortunately have an extremely low GPA, it should be around 3.1 by the time I apply at the beginning of sophomore year. Assuming I write a great personal statement is there any chance of getting into UCI or UCSB? My major is biochemistry which is impacted at both schools and my high school GPA was around 3.7. I don't have any ECs worth mentioning besides being in academic decathlon in high school and around 20 hours of volunteer work.</p>
