Applying for Spring Transfer at one school and Fall Transfer for another?

<p>I want to apply to CSULB for Spring semester of 2016, however I believe I have a small chance of getting into UCLA for Fall 2016.</p>

<p>Don't ask why I dont just apply for CSULB Fall semester 2016, its not important. My dilemma is that UCLA applications will be due by November 30th, and I have to confirm acceptance to CSULB by December 1st, so UCLA will not even know that I applied or was accepted to CSULB.</p>

<p>So basically I might spend spring semester at CSULB, and be notified that I have been accepted to UCLA from my CC in April of 2016.</p>

<p>Its a complicated sounding problem, I know. But will UCLA basically rescind my Fall acceptance upon finding out I transferred to the CSU in the Spring? Am I forced to tell UCLA that I transferred to another school before admission decisions? Or is this actually possible for me to do?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help on this convoluted matter.</p>

<p>I did the exact same thing last year. After I finished at CC I transfered to a CSU for Spring 2014. Then I was accepted to UCLA for Fall 2014, and wanted to transfer to UCLA. There are 2 things that are super important to do, to ensure that you keep your standing as a CC student, and don’t get your acceptance rescinded.</p>

<p>1) Do NOT go over the unit max. For UCLA I believe its 85-86 semester units. That’s a total combined units from cc and CSU. You can’t go over even by .5 units.</p>

<p>2) Take at least 1 class at your CC during the spring. I took 4 classes at my CSU, and 1 at my CC. I took an additional 2 classes during summer 2014 at my CSU, but stayed under the unit cap.</p>

<p>Also try to take classes at CSU that will transfer to UCLA. There’s no articulatuon guide, so you’ll have to try to match up courses based on name and description. I had to petition to get 2 of my courses counted because they originally only gave me credit for 4 of them. Save your syllabi. After petitioning, I got credit for everything.</p>

<p>I did not tell UCLA about the courses until after I was accepted. Once accepted I completed a form online to indicate my Spring classes had changed from what I said originally. In a few fays I rteceived a response saying nothing with my admisdion changed.</p>

<p>This response is very helpful. Unfortunately I believe that I will have gone over 85 semester units because I foolishly completed my GEs instead of only completing my transfer prereqs (Mechanical Engineering).</p>

<p>If you go over the unit cap with units from a 4-year school, you’ll be rescinded. 99.99%</p>

<p>And no, you can’t omit that info if you transfer to UCLA.</p>
