How do I raise my GPA for UCI in time?

I currently have a 3.0. This will be my fourth year in community college as I wasn’t really sure what I was doing my first 1.5 years… Anyway I had the 3.0 and I finished IGETC + 3/4 of my prereq. But I don’t think I made it in this year because I had a failed grade in Diff Eq, which I will make up this coming fall. The new requirement is that I now need a 3.2. So should I stop taking major prereq for now and take filler courses just to boost my GPA?

I was thinking I should boost my GPA first before taking my major prereqs again since I only need 2 semesters of O. Chem. I doubt I can get an A in that class and my college is currently only allowing 17 units max. So I was thinking maybe I would just do the Calc class, then take a bunch of easy UC transferable courses like Sociology and Psychology or something, and then do the O. Chem classes when I transfer.

I don’t really know though. What do you guys think I should do? I think 4 years in CC is a really really long time.
