How do schools like UCLA/UC Berkeley view transfer apps that are already in their 4th year.

This is kind of a continuation to this thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=360635

Brief Synopsis: I attended a top 40 university at a state school in Econ B.S. I was dismissed two years ago because of poor grades -below 2.0 (around 1.8-1.9) (had a personal serious health issue and I have documents/letters from doctors/hospital notes).

Now, I have an option of going back to this school-they’re still considering I believe, but since I’m out of state the tuition is like 26-30k a year.

Right now, I’m hoping that I end up at UCLA/UC Berkeley, where the tuition is much cheaper but it’s pretty much a dream right now.

What can I do from now till I apply(maybe?) besides attend Community college classes or will a school like UCLA/UC Berkeley won’t even consider because of my past.
