<p>Sorry, I know this question is asked a lot. I will keep it simple.</p>
<p>What are the chances? If there's even a good chance, what must I do to stand out?</p>
<p>Otherwise, am I better off attending a UC for graduate school? Which is harder?</p>
<p>Which CSU are you attending? From what I’ve read and researched, CC students and other UC students get top dibs when it comes down to transferring. I believe it can be done, but it’d pose a huge issue if you’re trying to go, let’s say, from a semester school to a quarter school.</p>
<p>The UC system sets aside the great majority of its transfer spots for CC students. Although it can be done, I suspect that you would need to be a very strong applicant to get in. I tried to transfer into the UC system from Cal Poly SLO last year and was rejected from Davis despite getting into USC, which is ostensibly a much harder school to get into.</p>
