In your opinion how likely am I to get admitted to UCSD EE, if I fall near the 42th percentile admit gpa

You should explore the Transfer Admission Guarantee for participating UC schools. Berkeley, Los Angeles, & San Diego do not participate.

Based on the listed transfer admission stats, UCSD EE should be considered less likely than not with a 3.75 college GPA.

Regarding TAG, UCB, UCLA, and UCSD do not offer it, but UCI does, and EE is an eligible TAG major for fall 2027 (but not fall 2028): Guaranteed Admissions | Office of Undergraduate Admissions | UCI
