I agree with @spenceyboi . Of eligible transfers 18% got in. That’s better than a lot of impacted/selective majors. I forget what your GPA is, but you have military service (leadership/teamwork/focus/commitment), plus a compelling story.

Also, there are people with 3.84 and lower, so having that lower GPA did not disbar them. The key would be essays and ECs, which I believe you have.
Also, can’t you select an alternate major? Put political economy as alternate (unless impacted?). And, of course, apply to Cal Poly.
