<p>@nujabes29, I was scared that something like is going to come up and it just a matter of time before someone suggest me to stay another year. Honestly speaking I do not want to stay for another year, I spent my summer taking 2 classes so I be able to apply this Fall.
This Friday, I will meet up with my transfer counselor and will see what happen. My judgment day is on Friday.</p>
<p>Well you can always apply this year and see what happens. You’ll only lose $60 if you apply to one UC. </p>
<p>HOwever, with a UC transferable GPA below a 3.0 you won’t get in anywhere man. If you can still stay for another year (if you still can take classes that would benefit your major - prereqs) you should really, really consider it. </p>
<p>If you’re eager to leave home, apply to UCR, UCM, UCSC, and the lower tier CSU’s. You’ll get most of those schools.</p>
<p>Also, TAG at UCSD (whether impacted or not) only guarantee’s you a spot in the school. I’m not sure you can even TAG into an impacted major…</p>
<p>and take this advice, some people made it seem like ‘oh yeah just tag and you’re auto in’ --true if all required details have been met–buuut im glad you did the research to figure out all these minor prerequisites. </p>
<p>you will need the mature mindset for those classes you seem to be struggling with. ask yourself months from now, even if you got accepted; are you really ready for upper division material if you are still having difficulty with lower division? </p>

<p>So basically I cannot tag, so I asked the UCSD representatives, they said they also consider Fall GPA so I do have a chance. I am taking 5 classes right now. If I get 3 As and 2 Bs, my overall GPA would be 3.20. I checked Statfinder and the percentage of acceptance of Engineering for UCSD is 64.7% GPA 3.20 - 3.39. This is for 2009. So do you guys think I still have a chance?</p>
<p>Mech engineering, I’m not sure. I just know last year they told me 3.23 for computer engineering and were very firm.Will you be done with any prereqs or IGETC? Sorry TLDR lol.</p>
<p>Why not apply to UCSB, UCI, UCR? They’re all great schools too! UCI and UCSB are nice and near the beach, too. :)</p>
<p>Also: At the other schools, consider applying to a different major. Depending on the UC you can attend a quarter or a semester and then tell them you’d like to be a Mech engineer instead. 
(Math major, physics major, comsci majors are doable with similar prereqs in many cases!)</p>
