1) Is there anything I can do to salvage my transfer admission? and 2) Is it even worth it?

Thank you so much for actually answering my questions, I really wanted answers and it seemed like this thread was going to be derailed by unsolicited life advice.

I understand that these aren't the best majors, but I'm 100% going to grad school, I don't know if that makes a difference? My main goal in completing my undergrad is to do well enough to enter a well-reputed, good graduate program and eventually practice clinical psychology. Though, to be honest, I wish I'd done computer science purely from an income perspective but it would add on years to my academic career and I'm just so ready to be done. I'm not sure what to do, I need to seek some professional advice on that front.

Sorry, I was being hyperbolic in regards to the curve grading system. Forgive me if I sound ignorant, I've only been in a couple of classes that graded on a curve, but does that mean there's no way an 80% would be anything lower than a B? Or is it just unlikely?

You're not being dismissive, thank you for putting that mindset into perspective for me. I hadn't just heard it from this sub, I mostly heard about this stressful atmosphere from third parties who very well could have no idea what they're talking about.

Honestly, I'm scared shitless of this whole experience. I don't want to go into detail because I guess it comes off like I'm giving excuses, but I just didn't think I'd ever get to finish my academic goals. So many people around me think transferring into a UC isn't anything to be proud of, but I never thought I'd be here and it's been a surreal experience. I'm just nervous and I have a bad habit of getting myself in over my head and falling flat and I just don't want that to happen again.

I really appreciate your input, thank you.
