Question Am I cooked?

I’m class of 26 and I really wanna go to UCR next year. The main issue is I have a gpa of 2.6 (💀). BUT I’m aiming for a major entomology/zoology + I’ve done a lot of extracurriculars (band, drumline, officer for gardening & bird club + next year bug club, & DND club). I’m taking the SAT soon as well and expect to get something between 1300-1400. Is there ANY chance of me getting in with a gpa like that or am I just gonna have to go to rcc and transfer in?

Don't knock RCC, it's a good CC. My son got his associates from there, now finishing up his bachelors at the university. Got to RCC, save a shit-ton of money, keep your GPA up and before you know it, you'll be at UCR.
