Hello!
Anyone transferring from a CSU to UC? So I applied to UCSD , UCD , UCLA and UCR (waiting for UCB and UCI) I’m from CSU Stanislaus , and I was told by everyone that I wouldn’t get into any of them. But I got into UC San Diego?!One of the top tiers , take that non believers lol! But some how got rejected to the rest of them (even UCR which is pathetic ). Are there any other students who got into a UC from a CSU? Do you think UCSD does more of a holistic review because my application holds substantially more EC (and competitive GPA) than my CC peers…I’m assuming that’s what put me over the edge (plus UCSD is more competitive - with the exception of UCLA And UCB)
GPA : 3.86
EC: President to two student orgs and lead statewide student advocacy at the Capitol
Honors program/ SSS-Trio first generation Mexican American
I’ve got more stats but I wouldn’t want to bore you! Please comment if you have had any experience or have any questions (lol or can answer mine )
Congrats! I’m coming from CSU Fullerton and I am almost completed with my 3rd year here. Before applying for this application cycle, I did tons of research on this forum and almost everyone said CSU students had no almost chance of transferring to UCs because of our low priority.
Regarding your question, I believe many CSU to UC transfers get rejected from schools they are qualified for simply because we get last priority.
I will post my stats as well:
GPA: 3.75 (overall), 3.87 (major)
I worked as a restaurant hostess and now currently work as a Math and CS tutor at a local community college. That’s about it. My personal statements were nothing spectacular.
Accepted: UCLA - mathematics, UCSD - computer science (college: Warren)
Pending: UCI (comp sci), UCB (comp sci)
Good luck to all!
Good for you! That’s amazing Fullerton is a wonderful school!
@juanton1995 Thanks. I’m having a hard time between picking UCLA or UCSD.
Is UCSD your top choice?
No it’s Stanford them Berkley . I got rejected to UCLA but they said it was because I was missing a math class (which actually passed last fall) so they may review it and change their decision !! Idk now San Diego is so much nicer than LA I hear it’s like a utopia … Nothing can beat day long study sessions on the beach !
Hello, could you help me answer some question about the CSU to UC transfer very much appreciated. Thanks
