<p>Hi all,
I've been studying in a cc (RCC) for 1.5 years, and will apply for transferring to UCLA next semester.
That is, I will have been in college for 3 years...(Most transfer students have merely studied in colleges for 2 years, right?)
Will this cause any negative effects to a transfer student?
Will UCLA (or any other UCs) reject student because they spend longer time in colleges?</p>
<p>BTW, my major is Architecture Design and I'm planning to transfer to School of Arts & Architectures in UCLA.....
So far I've completed 4x units...I did not take any classes in the previous summer/winter.
If 3-years is not the crucial reason for rejection, I will stop studying in college after finishing 60 units. ---- Does this work?</p>
<p>i don’t believe studying in CC for more than 2 years will hurt your chances to a UC. im about to finish my 3rd year at CC and ive been accepted to UCSD and UCD for Econ.</p>
<p>No it does not. Neither do they care if you’ve applied a thousand times, they want your application fees. With the budget cuts in the CCC’s, they also know that students may take longer to complete their IGETC/pre-reqs and would prefer if you have those completed than applying without them. </p>
<p>They don’t really care how long youre there, as long as youre productive. I’ve been at a cc for 3 years at the end of spring quarter (because I’m taking care of my mom) and I just got into UCLA today. Its not a good thing or a bad thing, you just have to do your best while you are there and fulfill your prereqs.</p>
