Will W’s affect my transfer if I want to go to UC Davis?

So I’m currently in college and have a 3.71. If I continue getting A’s, by the time I APPLY to UC Davis in the fall I will have a 3.85. I also have sad face 8 W’s on my transcript. Will this affect me getting in to a UC? I’d be happy going to another UC also, but Davis is my first choice considering I’m majoring in nutrition. Any help is appreciated thanks!

The Ws aren’t going to hold you back. Just explain reason — wasn’t ready, sick, job, family emergency, etc.

You can also TAG which ensures your acceptance:

I’m definitely applying for tag in the fall this year. Thanks so much!!!
