1) If you are talking about Winter/Spring 2009 enrollment, only UCR is accepting applications, but not in the school of Engineering - only Natural Sciences and Ag [University of California - Admissions](http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/apply_majors_ucrW09.html)

2) How did you get over 60 units? According to your previous posts, you were a senior in high school last year. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/408499-chances-uc-irvine-davis.html and should be in your first semester of college right now. Are you including AP credit? It is treated differently than college credit.

Another 2) Why not continue your Mechanical Engineering major at the CSU you say you are currently enrolled in? You would likely have more success at “redeeming your grades” at the CSU than the UC. Many CSU graduates go on to grad school - you might make your goal to attend a UC as a graduate student.

3) I know of no scholarships that would be based on a single quarter of grades rather than your entire academic record. UC merit scholarships would require a higher GPA. As another post-er said, need-based financial aid might be a possibility.

4) For students who are determined to have need based on submitting the FAFSA, Stafford and and Perkins loans will still be available. Additional private loans will likely be a bit more difficult to obtain without a cosigner, but are still available.
