<p>It’s called intercampus transfer if you wish to switch UC campus. Most UC campuses discourage intercampus transfer; only applicants with compelling reason for needing the transfer are likely to be considered for acceptance. UCLA is the only exception and gives the same priority to intercampus transfer applicants as CA community college transfer applicants.</p>
<p>To be competitive for intercampus transfer, you should complete the general education and major prerequisite requirements at your campus prior to the end of your sophomore year. The UC reciprocity agreement allows you to use the requirements from your campus to fulfill the requirements at the other UC campus.</p>
<p>@MsSun “only applicants with compelling reason for needing the transfer are likely to be considered for acceptance”</p>
<p>That is not true. All of us UC-UC transfers were admitted to all of the mid tier UCs, and most of us applied without so called “compelling reasons.” I understand that you are quoting the UC website, but there are plenty of real life stories on this website to see that they are happy to take UC-UC transfers, with or without a compelling reason.</p>
<p>MsSun, are you trying to take over these forums as well? This isn’t Yahoo Answers and that answer DEFINITELY won’t get voted Best Answer. </p>
<p>I said good day!</p>
<p>@Cali Trumpet, “all”? I would caution against using limited anecdotes collected from one forum to make generalizations.</p>
<p>@MidnightGolfer, just trying to provide some information, not garnering any recognition. Given my number of posts, I would hardly call my participation a take over. If you insist that I am taking over the forum, then I can say the same of you.</p>
<p>let ms sun do her thing.
and intercampus transfers are possible. i go to ucr and i applied to ucla and uci. got into ucla and uci is pending. just keep your gpa high and you’ll be good.
goodluck :)</p>
<p>@MsSun: Can’t take a bit of joking around? Btw, before you “caution” Cali Trumpet about making generalizations, maybe you should edit your post as well.</p>
<p>"Most UC campuses DISCOURAGE intercampus transfer; ONLY applicants with compelling reason for needing the transfer are likely to be considered for acceptance.</p>
<p>The campuses do not discourage intercampus transfers, they just give us less of a priority (not including UCLA). I personally talked to an admissions member at Cal and she actually encouraged me to apply because I seemed like the “right fit for the campus” and that I was considered a competitive applicant. Maybe that’s just Cal wanting my application money, but they never actually told me away. </p>
<p>Also Cali was just mentioning that MOST of the UC-UC posters on these forums have been accepted to a mid-tier UC. I did not have a “compelling reason for needing the transfer” and I was successful in applying. You might be quoting some guidelines from the UC website, but that might actually deter people from attempting to transfer.</p>
<p>@MsSun</p>
<p>I surely respect your help on these forums, but the idea that intercampus transfers are “discouraged” is a myth. Sure, CCC transfers get priority, for all sorts of reasons, but that is not to say that UC-UC transfers need a “compelling reason.” EVERY ONE of my friends at Santa Cruz got into at least one of the mid tier UCs that they applied to already. Obviously, it is a very simple process, and a very practical decision on the part of the applicant, because he or she can go to a campus with more resources and better job prospects. While I may be making generalizations that almost every UC-UC applicant who completes that requirements with a solid GPA is admitted to a mid tier UC, the statistics (UC statfinder) proves that my generalizations are not too far from reality.</p>
<p>The compelling reasons thing is not necessary. The only campus I found that seems to want any reason (but again, still doesn’t seem to care that much) is Berkeley. I didn’t give any reasons on my application, and so far have been accepted from UC Riverside into UCLA, UCSB, and UCD (waiting on Berkeley).</p>
<p>Thank you for all the response!!!, another question came up for me; in UCR we can S/nc classes (basicly pass(satisfactory) or fail a class without the grades being added in to the GPA) i currently S(satisfactory) 2 of my classes already, but I am thinking about S(satisfactory) another one of my classes as well making a total of 3classes that are satisfactory not avarged into GPA. And here is my problem does S or passing a class without being added to GPA a bad thing ? i heard a rumor that some colleges assume that S as an C since you only need an C to get S. Please help thanks !!! PS sorry for the bad grammer :(</p>
<p>final results for UC’s (because UCSB was taking so long)…
…transferring from UCR</p>
<p>accepted: UCSD, UCSB</p>
<p>rejected: UCB, UCD, UCI, UCLA</p>
<p>Comments: I must say UC-UC transfers are harder but not impossible</p>
<p>congrats mind shearing your info 
thanks</p>
<p>I was accepted as a transfer from UC Riverside into UCLA, Berkeley, SB, and Davis. Basically, you need to satisfy all the prerequisites for the school you’re applying to and have good grades. Write good essays too. I hardly had any extra curricular activities and my applications worked out fine. It’s not impossible…good luck!</p>
<p>@ arcadefire1027</p>
<p>hey I was wondering since you are from UCR. When did you finish your English requirements? (English 1 abc) Do we have to finish it before we apply or by spring?</p>
<p>As far as I know, you have to have the english requirement done by spring.</p>
<p>Hmm thats what I thought too… some CCC kids get rejected because their english classes are in progress…And it’s time for registration for fall soon lol just wondering</p>
<p>@slee I’m finishing my last english requirement right now and didn’t have any problem getting into UCs, so don’t believe anyone who says you can’t have your english class in progress in Spring. :)</p>
