<p>If you go to a CC, they will look at your CC GPA not your High school GPA or ACT scores. You basically start all over again. I would look at some of the UC transfer threads on this website for a lot of useful information.
The counselors at your CC will help you make a plan to succeed and transfer to your intended UC, unfortunately UCSD does not do the TAG program anymore, but there are other ways to transfer there. Just utilize all the resources available to you. Good Luck.</p>
