<p>sorry about smiley face…it was suppose to say only child with single parent(father)</p>
<p>how come you will only get a slight decrease in GPA 3.01 –> 2.98 </p>
<p>what will cause that a B or a C ?</p>
<p>GPA will decrease because of my chemistry class. 
most likely i will get a C but I’m not sure because I will ask professor tomorrow what is my grade at this moment.have not gotten any updates on my grade since October.</p>
<p>Even if you don’t get in, I’d say that you are in a good position to petition if you can get good grades in the Spring.</p>
<p>i hope I get in for UC Davis.For some reason they approve my TAG.</p>
<p>@ray50117, actually they haven’t approve anything yet just like UCSD, UCSB, and UCI. They wait for your Fall grades then they start the process.</p>
<p>@ray50117:</p>
<p>Sorry, but I’ll give it to you straight. You won’t get into UCSD chem with a 2.98 and you’ll be disqualified from TAG if you drop below a 3.0 from the fall onward. </p>
<p>Last year, the non-impacted major cutoff GPA for transfers was a 3.2, and that’s not going down this year. You’ll need at least a 3.2 to get in without TAG.</p>
<p>Also, UCSD doesn’t do comprehensive reviews, so your EC/personal statements don’t matter. It’s your GPA, unfortunately.</p>
<p>@Ktran13:I doubt I will get TAG for SB ,SD,or UCI.I’ll see what happens.At least I tried and will apply for next year.</p>
<p>@Grimes:I’m pretty sure I’m not going to get admitted to SD.I know it’s quite a hard UC to get into,especially as a science major.Still got hopes for Davis though(first choice by the way).</p>
