<p>I got accepted to University of Minnesota Duluth, University of California Riverside and Pennsylvania State University Abington. I want to try for a transfer to the main campus of all these universities after 1 semester. WHich one should i select? Please rank them on basis of ease of transfer to respective main campus.</p>
<p>I might be incorrect on this, but I don’t think you can transfer from UC-riverside to a ‘main’ campus. It is a campus unto itself. </p>
<p>Maybe this is obvious to people in California, but which UC college do you want to transfer to? I think if I were trying to figure this out I would look at (1) which ones have the lowest stats for incoming students to start with on the main campus, and (2) look at the Common Data Set for each college to see how many transfer students they take relative to the student body size (Google <college name=""> Common Data Set and look at the most recent year).</college></p>
<p>Also, are any of them in-state for you? Unless cost is completely irrelevant, I assume your in-state option is probably the smartest bet.</p>
<p>I am an international student. I want to transfer to UCLA or UCSB</p>
<p>I guess you are out of state for CA or your wouldn’t put it that way. UC’s are not considered branch campuses. They are all research universities with their own strengths and national rankings. If you want to try to transfer to a different UC, they only take Jr year transfers. Community college students have priority as each UC will take a good number of qualified CC students, but they do take UC to UC transfers, just not in large amounts.</p>
<p>What is the relative cost to you of these options and your 4 year estimates if the transfer target is a different price (UCs are roughly the same.)</p>
<p>Also, you can’t typically transfer after one semester. You will apply to transfer in the spring of your first year, and then start the next fall if you are accepted. Minnesota probably has the cheapest out of state tuition (just guessing, check the website vs. Penn State, but they do have one of the cheaper OOS tuitions of all the good public universities).</p>
<p>i really do not have any budget constraints, but california colleges are the most expensive. Minnesota and penn state are approx the same. I was asking if it will be easier to transfer between campuses in Minnesota or penn state</p>
<p>Here read this, I assume it is true, but you can check yourself:

<p>thanks so much for the info…i think on the whole it will be better if i enroll at minnesota duluth camus and transfer to tc in 2nd year…i have got admission in chemical engineering and minnesota has the best chem engn program in the us after mit</p>
<p>Yes, that sounds like a solid plan. </p>
<p>btw how difficult is it to transfer from duluth campus to twin cities campus?..what are the requirements GPA, extra curriculars etc?</p>
<p>The requirements are very high for engineering, but UMN is the only campus that will allow you to transfer after only a year (or perhaps a semester???) Both the UCs and Penn State will require 2 years before transfer.</p>
