CC transfer after 2 semesters?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>I'm a second semester student right now at santa barbara city college, looking to transfer to a UC. Coming in as a freshman I already had 24 credits from taking classes at the college during high school, and after these two semesters, I'll have completed all of my GEs as well as a few of the pre-requisites for my major. I leave after this semester to serve a mission for my church for two years, and would like to attend a UC when I come home.</p>

<p>so my question is, will a UC even consider admitting me as a sophomore, not having completed every single prerequisite for my major? While I'm fine with attending a community college, I'd really like to attend a UC, and if I try to finish all the pre-med/bio prerequisites at the community college, I'll be there for a minimum of two more semesters.</p>

<p>Things I thought might positively affect my entrance:
cumulative college GPA 3.3
last two semesters 4.0(I learned some work ethic in college)
Eagle Scout
2 year religious mission</p>

<p>Thanks again to whoever can give me a hand</p>

No, they won’t. The UCs are flooded with transfer apps, and the 1st thing they do to whittle down the number they need to review is toss all those that haven’t met EACH & EVERY requirement for transferring.</p>

<p>SBCC has a close relation with UCSB; you should go talk to a counselor at your school and they can help you understand the best course of action to take.</p>

<p>They probably won’t take you as a sophomore. The UC’s give preference to junior-level transfer students.</p>

<p>Most likely you won’t. Above posts are correct.</p>

<p>On the UC website, it mentions that the only time they ever take sophomore transfers is when there is an admission by exception where some extreme hardship or circumstance must be present and somehow tied into why you should be offered admission at less than junior standing. </p>

<p>UC’s also tend to be pretty strict with meeting minimum eligibility requirements, someone on this forum was rejected by UCSB just for having 59 units instead of the required 60.</p>
