<p>@findyaus1 Google this topic and you’ll find several threads where posters have been admitted as a transfer to many UCs with excessive Ws. You will need to have a very good explanation for them- such as “I was busy being a campus leader” rather than “I don’t know what I want to do in my life.” </p>
<p>I’m all for internships, but why do you need to take a year off? Unless it’s in DC or somewhere extremely unique away from campus, most schools would prefer to see how a student handles an internship while taking classes. </p>
<p>Your GPA is not horrible for transfer into a UC. I assume you have looked into their online transfer planner to determine that you have the right classes to be eligible to transfer?</p>
<p>Good luck! </p>
