<p>Hey all im stuck here...
So im applying to UC davis and UCSD(its my reach) this year and im not sure I have the stats for these schools. I really want to go to these schools.</p>
<p>My GPA is only 3.0 - its a 3.38 at a CC here, but I did really bad at UCSC and got a 2.46
(I spent one quarter here before going to a CC)</p>
<p>If i do well this semester it can turn into a 3.3
So I cant take a 3rd year at a CC here either because Im already at a ton of units and only have 11 units left before I reach the max. I think there is a max for me because I attended a UC.</p>
<p>I want to be a bio major btw and I know this major is really really hard to get into.</p>
<p>When you looking to transfer? Are you trying to TAG? With those stats I think at least UCSD is out of reach but possibly UCD depending on if the major is impacted there and if you have your prereqs done?</p>
<p>oh btw,
today i talked to my counselor about what I should do if all of the colleges rejected me, and I only have 11 units that im allowed to take if i have to take a 3rd year…
and she kind of avoided the question lol</p>
<p>the thing is, i left UCSC to go to UC D/SD so im not sure about applying to other schools :(</p>
<p>there is more to this admission game than your grades…</p>
<p>if you don’t even have those remotely completed and you’re looking to SD, well you shouldn’t. If you do, consider it a slight possibility. As far as Davis, possible shot, but you will need assist done.</p>
<p>Yes, i have my IGETC finished. finally one good thing huh lol
and for davis, ill have all my prereqs
for SD, ill be missing 2 classes…</p>
<p>but really i know SD will not be possible, but davis is like my last chance so im just worrying about that one.</p>
<p>well for EC… i only have it from high school
but i was volunteering at 2 different places when i was at CC.
i coudlnt get a paying job unfortunately</p>
<p>i think you have a decent shot for davis, at least on appeal. SD i wouldn’t say bet 100 but bet maybe about 10 or 20 bucks.</p>
<p>i say write an excellent essay explaining your understanding that Davis will be a big step and you will work extremely diligently to exceed Davis’ standard, that and finish extremely strong for fall and spring, and you will make Davis.</p>
<p>I’d recommend you add San Jose State as a backup. They have a respectable bio department, and I don’t think you’ll have too much trouble getting in. If you get accepted to Davis, however, take it.</p>
<p>You should apply to as many UCs and CSUs as you can and hope that one accepts you. It is easy to get 3.0+ GPA at a CCC but the last time you were at a four year university you could only manage a 2.46. Unlike most other transfer applicants, you have a track record at a four year school that is not likely to help you in transferring to a UC. I would not see it as a step back if you went to SJSU that can award you a Bachelors degree. That would be a big step forward from where you are now.</p>
finally one good thing huh lol
