<p>look, UC’s really look into your grades that you got in each class. i am a transfer and got accepted with a 3.31 into UCSB physics undergrad, however i got A’s in precalc, calc, physics, etc. </p>
<p>I talked to an admissions councilor at UCSB and SD when applying and they said that they look at your gpa to see your OVERALL performance, then look into your performance per your major or interests… if you failed a higher math. (btw, “higher math” is calc, so if it wasnt calc then what was it?) then they probably wont look kindly at that. </p>
<p>IGETC: they also look to see if you are IGETC’ed for the simple fact that you have completed a program and wont be filling up their school’s general ed classes. PLUS why would you not do IGETC, it gets you a Transfer Guarantee at most UC’s???!??!? TAG it up.</p>
<p>ps most CSU’s do NOT use IGETC for anything. if i remember correctly, which im pretty sure i do, there was nothing about IGETC on cal poly, sonoma state, sdsu’s application. HOWEVER some schools use IGETC and do offer a tag-esque program into local CSU’s per that specific CCC. ex. American River College has a transfer guarantee program into Sac State and Humbolt State <em>not sure why</em>. </p>
<p>if you are serious about a UC, then be serious about your CC. we all know Community college sucks, but suck it up and do some work…do you think you would survive at a UC right at this moment anyhow? you have a 2.9 at a CC. study up, get serious, develop some study skills, and good luck cuz it would be cool if you could get into somewhere you really wanted to go.</p>
