<p>Transfering to a UC, particularly in CS will require you to have a solid GPA (3.3-3.5) at the CC. At some point you have to perform. If you do really poorly @ a CC, you are kind of stuck until you make up your classes/gpa. </p>
<p>CS is really competitive and requires many hours of hard work - no matter where you take it. Perhaps you aren’t cut our for it. There are similar majors that aren’t as intense. You could go in undeclared and take one CS class your first semester. (you can do this at CC or a CSU). If you do poorly, it won’t totally ruin your GPA. </p>
<p>The application window just opened. Apply to 5-6 CSUs (Sac, Monterey, Channel Islands, Pomona, Sonoma?) and see where you get in. If none of them work for you, then head to a CC. No matter where you wind up, you are going to have to work your butt off.</p>
