<p>I don’t know what ILoveLarkin’s problem is. Frankly I don’t think anyone should be expected to do well in a typical highschool setting, unless of course your planning a career in swallowing ********.</p>
<p>I was a major flake in highschool, cut tons of classes, failed all but PE in my senior year, but by some miracle I got myself into UCSC. I decided UC Berkeley was the place to be though, so I set about transfering. I made several mistakes about which classes I should have taken, but I never slacked off. I maintained a 3.8+, and I was admitted to the UCB School of Engineering. My current roommate I met at UCSC, and he transfered up here too.</p>
<p>It’s not typically encouraged or easy, but it’s actually quite reasonable. I’m hearing people say GPA of 3.5+, but CC students do get priority. I would focus on keeping it above 3.7 if you want to be safe. Really the necessary GPA depends on how competitive applications for your major are. Also, apply to a few campuses. For some reason UC Davis didn’t accept me for transfer, but UCB, UCLA, and UCSD did. Finally, just talk to advisors as much as possible.</p>
