CSU to UC/Caltech with large resume

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

Hello, I am a student at CSULA, and I am looking to transfer to either UCLA or UC Berkeley. I’ve been doing some research into how difficult it is, and it seems that it is nearly impossible for a CSU student. However, I have a lot of additional circumstances:

  1. I have a 3.97 GPA
  2. I am currently 14. I skipped high school
  3. I have completed an internship and am involved in 2 different research projects. I have also completed a senior-level project. I will be presenting a research paper at an accredited conference this year.
  4. I am a CS major. This will probably make it harder. My specific focus is in A.I. and machine learning.
  5. I have done a decent bit of volunteering.

I am also looking to transfer to Caltech, any advice on that would be helpful too. I know transfers are difficult, but I would really like to transfer. Any advice would be appreciated.

Transfers into Caltech are nearly impossible for any student. Last year they accepted and enrolled 3 transfers out of 155 applicants. (1 male out of 117 apps; 2 females out of 38 apps)

But all you can do is apply. Make sure that you thoroughly research the school’s websites so you can take all required prerequisites for your major.

Good luck.

^^^ Agreed, but being 14 has its advantages. :))
