Transferring to UC: Am I at a huge disadvantage if I haven't finished my math prerequisite?

<p>I applied to almost every single UC. I’ll be done with all of the prerequisites by the end of this semester, except for Math. I’m enrolled for Stats in the Spring. </p>

<p>I’m transferring as an International Relations major, I have a 3.7 GPA at my current school but I have a nightmare transcript from another college years ago (took 14 units there) that knocks it down to an overall 3.16 GPA :confused:
I do have a lot of confidence in my personal statement though. </p>

<p>Since my GPA is in the low range of the applicant pool, will this really affect my chances of getting in?</p>

<p>if your nightmare transcript is filled with Ds or Fs and you repeat the course then the old grades will not get factored into your UC gpa. </p>

<p>Alternatively you can ask for academic renewal to wipe the grades without repeating the course. </p>

<p>I already have gotten academic renewal, and re-taken the fails that relate to my major.</p>
