One of my classmates had a 2.75-2.8, and very few ECs that were OK. He got into Irvine, SD, and Davis for Bio.

Not at Amherst. At low tier schools it is possible.

Im sure there is people with lower GPAs that got in UC's.... just at this point they are probably really selective with the ones below a 3.0... it never hurts to try, Id say sign up for the UC's just in case, and if you don't get into any, at least you know instead of just sitting there wondering if you wouldve gotten in or not, but just try it doesnt hurt to try... right? But dont worry, if you sign up to pretty much all of the UC's you are bound to get into at least 1 of them (meaning riverside or merced; no offence to those schools though) so yeah... just give it a shot and good luck!

If you sign an agreement with UC Irvine, you only need a minimum of 3.0 to be guaranteed admission. As long as you finish all your IGTEC.

it varies, depending on the deal your particular jc has with a given university. my old jc, for example, had a TAG agreement with ucsd that stipulated a minimum of 2.8.
