<p>well i will be gettin my in state residency after a year so i will not be an in state student for univ. of california (so my probabilty to get into it is less)
so well what should i do ?</p>
<p>1.get into a communty college and get a transfer into a UC
2.get into any other univ. (not UC) and then get a transfer to a UC
3.OR GET INTO A BAD University of california like riverside and study there only</p>
<p>PS i want to do engg.</p>
<p>There really aren’t any bad UCs. It is easier to transfer into a UC from a ccc than from another university (including other UCs and CSUs). It comes down to grades. If you don’t have particularly high marks and you have your heart set on a specific UC, the cc route would definitely be the way to go.</p>
<p>sagoorbest, what ranking or qualities classify a university as “bad” in your view?</p>
<p>I don’t think you should apply to a school you would call “bad” on a public forum. There are plenty of students who would actually like to go to that university, so you should allow them to have that spot.</p>
<p>If your goal is to attend a particular UC and you feel you will not be admitted as a freshman, California Community College transfers are given priority over students from 4-year colleges, including UCs and CSUs.</p>
<p>Well You are saying that they arent bad UC’s ok well what about the Us rankings about the universities acc to engnn… tell them that they are wrong tell them that they shouldn’t have ranked them tell them that education is education tell those students
who transfer from a CCC to a UC and albeit you are saying that i am wrong that i classify univ’s as bad or good
ma’am i know you are older to me and i even knw you have more expericen than me but i was just inquiring about the Univ.s i am sorry if i used demeaning words or derogatory words which angered you to write a post like this</p>
<p>i am sorry</p>
<p>@CalBear2009 thnx well i asked the admission officer and they said the same thing :-)</p>
<p>option 1. community college isn’t so bad. it’s a matter of staying focused and keeping track of your goals.</p>
<p>so well after how many months or years can i apply for a transfer…(srry i dunno abt the semester thingy i think 60 semesters) so how long will it take for me to be able to apply?</p>
<p>and well what do they consider for transfer i mean what do they see
only GPA or extra curriculars also?</p>
<p>I am not angered, and I did not comment on the quality of the schools. I asked what had caused you to say that university is “bad,” and questioned why you would apply to, much less attend, a university that you had determined was “bad.” It does not make sense to me.</p>
<p>You responded with something about US rankings (which I assume to be the US News and World Reports rankings, and I am aware that UCR is ranked #89 on the National Universities list. [National</a> Universities Rankings - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/national-search/title+riverside]National”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/national-search/title+riverside) In a country with over 2,000 four-year universities, you have greatly limited yourself if you only consider 88 or fewer of them (those ranked above the “bad” one).</p>
<p>Again, I am not angered, I just think you are letting some of the college confidential biases toward considering only the top 25 universities to be “good” keep you from considering the many, many other opportunities.</p>
<p>As I said above, your best route to transfer to any UC is to attend a California Community College. They have transfer priority over students from 4-year universities, including UCs and CSUs.</p>
<p>Students generally transfer after 4 semesters or 6 quarters at a community college, or two years of full schedules of courses.</p>
<p>sagoorbest, I’m not sure if you’re still in high school or not, but if you start ASAP, you could potentially transfer within a year(depending on what your local community college/s have to offer). 60 units usually is completed by most over two years, with 15 units per semester(assuming you do two semesters for every school year). </p>
<p>If you wanted to transfer within a year, you would have to take more units per semester, and also go to school during the summer and winter(if offered by your community college. if you want to transfer within a year, i would advise you to take 12-20 units the summer after high school graduation, 16-24 units during the fall, 6-9units during the winter(if offered at your cc), and 16-24 units during the spring.</p>
<p>When you apply to the UC’s as a transfer, you apply during the fall semester in november(i think?) and then during the spring semester they’ll email you to update your grades and course load on your application.</p>
<p>If you’re in high school now, you might want to start visiting your community college to make sure you place(with the placement test) into college level math and/or english, because this can hold you back on fulfilling transferable courses. YOu might have to take remedial classes just to get to transferable college level math and english</p>

<p>thanx a lot!!! really thanx man…and alame mom no harm done</p>
<p>In Georgia, if you started any college within 12 months after moving to the state, you’d never get in-state residency (unless you dropped out and spent a year in-state without being a college student). Check on California regulations and be sure that going to CC right away wouldn’t undermine your efforts to be considered in-state.</p>
