I’m an incoming sophomore from the Philippines. I study at Ateneo de Manila University, which is one of the top schools in the country. I was thinking of transferring to a UC school next year, junior year.

I kind of slacked my freshman year, because we only took some basic subjects like English, Math, and Science. My overall GPA for my freshman year was 2.7. It’s so low, I know. But I’m really determined to have at least a 3.5 this coming year. I never took ACTs or SATs because we don’t need them here.

I’m also considering applying for private loans for my studies there.

What are my chances, though?
