<p>I might be transferring to UCSD for my 3rd year and didn't know much about the college system at the time; I just wrote what my friend told me to put and for Econ Revelle is the worst college possible. I would have to take 14 EXTRA courses if I went to Revelle instead of Warren (I have IGETC done):
HUM 3, HUM 4, HUM 5, Bio, Chem, Physics, 2 more chem/phy, 4 courses of foreign language (I took 3 semesters in high school (& no AP test) but that doesn't seem to count on their proficiency list and I doubt i'd pass the exam now), 1 Math course, 1 American culture
I took other sciences like Astronomy and such instead of bio/chem/etc for IGETC but I guess they don't apply to Revelle :x
I know you can fill out that form but I don't want to attend Revelle and then get rejected for switching colleges and end up being stuck 14 courses behind.
Thank you,
Kurt</p>
<p>I couldn’t really follow your post but in reply to your title: college transfers operate on a case-by-case basis; just because you know of someone willing to do the reverse transfer won’t guarantee you entrance into Warren. In fact, I’m willing to bet that it doesn’t help at all.</p>
<p>oh people in the UC transfer forum were saying that
hmm :x</p>
<p>I emailed them but no response 
If I’d be 14 COURSES behind do you think I’d have a chance at getting switched?
I’m not going to go there and be a year behind</p>
<p>Q: Can I change the college I was admitted to?
A: No. Each college has a certain number of spaces for transfer students. Unlike most universities, your college is not determined by your major. This gives you a unique opportunity to meet a wider range of people. We have observed that once you arrive on campus, you are likely to adapt quickly and be very happy with your undergraduate college. The only way for you to switch to another college is if a transfer student from that college wants to change to the one you were admitted to, so very few college changes are granted each year. If you indeed wish to change colleges, pick up an Intercollege Transfer Request form at the Academic Advising Office of the college to which you were admitted. Your college will then follow up with you as to the results of your request.
hmm</p>
<p>i think that means that they try to keep the number of students in each college generally constant, but i doubt that your finding a transfer “partner” will make your case any better. it’s more likely that they’ll assess each petition individually, so someone with legit academic reasons for transferring would be given more cred than someone who, say, thinks revelle students are boring and have no life.</p>
