CSU/UC transfer chances plus questions.

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

Hi, I will be applying for a CSU and UC transfer Oct 1st and Nov 1st respectively. I have not really did much research about
my chances at getting into certain colleges. I don’t have some pre reqs done for certain majors. I would really appreciate it if you guys could knit pick and tell me my chances. I also have a lot of questions regarding SAT and testing due to my circumstances.
So here a little info:

I finished high school a year early through the CHSPE. I never took the SAT or ACT. I was wondering if that is a problem?
Also, I was told undergrad and post grad schools look down upon young age for more experienced students. Is that (I will be 18 as a junior in college.)

EC’s
-Job
-Created a pretty successful small business

  • Hospice and community service
  • ALOT of research in clinical/research based psychology, certified by all 3 major health organizations. 50+ hours.

UC/CSU GPA: 3.56

UC/CSU Units currently (1 year): 38 and 42

UC/CSU units after completion of two years: 68 and 72

Major I intend to apply for:
UCR Psychology BS: All pre reqs met (my TAG)
UC Merced B.A: All pre reqs met
UCSC Psychology BA/BS: All pre reqs met
UCI Psychology BA: All pre reqs met except 1 computer science class

UCD: Psychology B.S: All pre reqs met except a couple pre meds ( biology and chemistry)
UCSB Pre- Bio Psychology BS All pre reqs except biology and chemistry
UCLA Pre Psychobiology BS (dream/unlikely) all pre reqs except biology and chemistry ( my moms alma mater and major if that helps at all?)

I also don’t know anything at all about CSU’s but I would like to know my chances at 2 of them. I know both are decent schools but I couldn’t find an average transfer gpa anywhere):
Cal Poly Pomona
CSU Fullerton.

Thank you!, please help me (:

How did it work out for you? I haven’t read anywhere that it is a disadvantage to being a young transfer student — I’ve actually read the opposite, it shows a determination and maturity which is a plus.

I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself about the process, the other option is to stay one more year in community college and get all of those pre-recs finished. If you’re not happy with the schools who accepted you, you can stay one more year, bring up your GPA a little more, and finish all of those other classes :slight_smile:
