Hi everyone.
I am now a freshman in UCSC, and I am thinking about transferring to NYU(and some other UCs) as a junior, NYU as my top choice.
The reason I want to transfer is that I’m just very tired of living in a suburb(or a forest).
I am desperately in need with some CITY ACTION.

I didn’t apply for NYU last year.
Ok, so here are my stats.

My High School GPA was 3.7 weighted, 3.5 unweighted.
SAT taken Senior year in High School: 1790 cumulative. (PS: English not my native language). Should I send it or should I not? should I retake it if I am transferring as a junior?
TOFEL: 100/120
SAT 2s: 800chinese, 660 Biology (do we need this?)

Here are my College records:

De anza community college:
A Intro to Fiction
A European Art History

UCSC:

1st quarter

B+ American Studies
B- Technothrillers
C+ Core course(writing class for all freshman in UCSC)
Pass Ballet 1
Pass Grammar and Editing

Now I am kind of worried for this C+, but I’m pretty sure the teacher wrote me a great evaluation and stuff and I only got the C+ because of my grammar skills and the fact that I didn’t pass the entrance writing exam.(I asked the Teacher about it, he told me that grammar was basically the problem. I am pretty sure if I ask him for a rec. he would write it for me). Will this C+ cause my admission? I mean it might not even be counted in my GPA because its a core course just for UCSC. If so, what can I do to fix my GPA? Take more community classes?

Next quarter:

Calculus for tech.
Jewish writing in Venice
Writing 20A
Ballet

Ok, so give me some advice, I would really appreciate it.
