<p>I know this is going to be difficult to hear, but I don’t think your chances are good. True UCSC has a minimum requirement of 2.4 for transfer students - but that is the very bottom of the barrel. I watched a video on youtube that featured a UCSC admissions director answering questions about transfer students for Fall 2011, and he said that they will basically be excluding applicants who have below a 2.8 for this year because they just have way too many people applying right now (8,000 transfer applicants for Fall 2011)
For UC’s, you really need a 3.0 or higher to get in. Times are different and they will be forced to dismiss a handful of students who don’t qualify simply because there is no room.
I really do hope you make it though, and good luck this Semester. I am applying as a transfer student with a 3.1 so even I don’t feel too great about my chances.</p>
