<p>Hi, I am planning to apply for transfer to UCSD as a biochemistry/cell biology major and I was wondering if you guys can chance me. I have attended community college for 2 year. I have taken 20 classes equivalent to 87 semester units. My whole transcript out of 20 classes are 4 C's, 4 B's, and 12 A's. By the end of spring 2014 I will have 1 year of General Chemistry complete with 2 A's, 1 year of General Biology: General Biology 1 a C, General Biology 2 an A. and 1 semester of Calculus an A. Also, I will be currently enrolled in calculus 2, organic chemistry 1, and calculus based physics 1. My overall GPA out of the 20 classes is a 3.4, but my Major GPA is 4 A's and 1 C which is a 3.6 GPA. I have a lot of Extracurricular activities and volunteering. Also, a part time job in community college and much more. I will not be doing TAG for UCSD because my overall GPA is not a 3.5. I am freaking out that my overall GPA is low, but then looking at my pre-requisite classes they look really good. Please help chance me. Thanks</p>
<p>Can I please get an opinion. I don’t need to know an exact answer bit if I can please get peoples opinions I would appreciate it a lot. Please. Thanks</p>

<p>Honestly, I would not trust the chances and trust yourself.
I think your stats are pretty good.
I had near 3.2 when I applied, lower than 3.0 during January update and then back up to 3.0 end of Spring. I was accepted to several good Cal States and waitlisted to Irvine and San Diego. Everyone told me that my chance of getting into UCSD is near 0 and that I should look for an alternative. I got accepted the first batch of the waitlist acceptances.
See, your stats are way better than mine and even though I DID get waitlisted, I was accepted at the end. To me, I think you will get accepted if you keep up your good work and don’t be too nervous. I was freaking out every second for the past couple months that I will not get accepted at all but at the end, everything worked out. Try to think positive!</p>
<p>I’d say that you are in relatively good standing, the only thing that worries me is that C in a major prep course. If I were you I would try an internship or something that looks really boss during the summer and then write a REALLY good personal statement. That should balance out your C’s. Good luck! (:</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. So you guys really think I have a shot at UCSD. Well that makes me feel much better.</p>
