Keep in mind the new personal statement prompts will start for the Fall 2008 application cycle: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/how_apply/personal_statement.html
Just to give you an idea, I had a friend that applied for transfer to UCSD from a community college with a 3.8 and all classes prerequisites completed and he did not get in. It can be quite difficult.
My advice considering your time constraint? I think the best thing you can do right now is to try to squeeze in a few extracurricular things before the applications are due just so you can put it on your application. Also, when you write your entrance essay, get someone who knows something about writing to help you out or evaluate it. Other than acing whatever courses you have left this current semester that’s really the only thing that you can do.
I’m not sure if you’re on any time constraint but if you’re not then give yourself another semester to finish up the courses that you are missing and try again. It’s really difficult to do a transfer to a UC and you really want to make sure that every scrap of information that you hand in is the best that you can hand in.
