Now a good or bad time to submit an app?

<p>Hey, I thought that my question might get more exposure here rather than the thread I posted it in =/. Hope thats ok.</p>

<p>I would like to apply for Winter 2008 as it seems that this is the earliest I will be able to transfer to U.C. However, I am reluctant because I currently only have 18 completed units due to some problems that arose during my first semester in college. I am confident that I will be able to accumulate 60 units by the end of next summer, or at the latest Fall 2008.</p>

<p>My questions are,
Should I submit an application now? The deadline is August 17th I believe.</p>

<p>Would it be a better choice to spend an extra semester (spring 08) in school in order to write a TAG for Fall 09 to Davis? (TAGS are written in the fall and require 30 units at the time of signing for admission to the following fall quarter).</p>

<p>Currently I have a 3.17 GPA (Due to my time being more available now I will be able to raise this by a large margin come completion of 60 units).</p>

<p>I am interested primarily in UC Davis and a B.A. in Chemistry. I will be applying to schools other than Davis though, most likely those with B.A’s in chemistry or a biological science.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.</p>
