Is the UC system stringent on the GPA requirement?

Unforunately, my GPA is at a 2.5 which puts me at great concern. I concern that as soon as an officer will see this, it will immediately put me into the rejection pile.

My hopes lie in that I hope to demonstrate extreme improvement in my senior year. In this improvement I mean from a .8(UW) in my sophomore year, 3.3(UW) junior year, and perhaps 3.5+(W) in my senior year.

I have calculated that even if I receive 4.0 in both my semesters, it would not reach 3.0 because of my miserable sophomore year. Would my sophomore year completely destroy my hopes for going to a UC?

My reasons for my extremely low GPA my sophomore year are explained in my personal statement, which I believe is quite detailed. But, I was not held back by examples such as the subjects offered in my community. Is the ABE system restricted to community issues?
