<p>Hi @TheKracken I successfully transfered to a UC in the same major as you and plan to minor in math as well. I didn’t have the best GPA either. I had a 3.0 overall GPA and 3.20 UC GPA. I applied last year and will be attending UC Davis this fall. I applied to UCSC,UCD,UCSD,UCR,UCSB and UC Berkeley. To my surprise I got accepted to all of them except UC Berkeley which I figured even when I applied. I also applied to some CSUs SJSU, CPP, CPSLO I got into SJSU and CPP but not CPSLO which I figured as well. I was surprised that I actually had options to choose from. I honestly was just hoping to get into UCSC,UCR and SJSU but I had more options :). I went to two different CC’s. At my first one I did bad 2.5 GPA and didn’t have a direction on what to major. After being here for two years I went to another CC. At this CC I started off with 4.0 for 2 semesters and ended up having a 3.5 GPA at that CC. I also participated in school. I was a math tutor, SI leader, President of Math Club and Vice President of Engineering club. I honestly think that my EC activities helped them give me a shot. I also showed an upward trend of good grades. I know for engineering people think that you need 3.7+ GPA, but its not always the case. I got into pretty good schools like UCSD and UCSB also Cal Poly Ponoma. I chose UC Davis because I like the atmosphere and I feel that I will be successful there. I also got more aid from them and will be living with my uncle so will save money. Don’t give up just keep doing well and get some EC in there. To TAG to UCSC you just need a 3.0 I think that tagging might be your best bet. Good Luck. </p>
