<p>is it hard to transfer from SDSU to a UC, preferably UCSB or UCLA? </p>
<p>they give preference to CC students over those from 4-year colleges</p>

oh but i am not going to CC but i am wondering if it is possible in tranfering to a UC. like has it been done, is it rare to transfer?</p>
<p>you can find admit stats at campuses you are interested in. For example <a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof13.htm”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof13.htm</a> </p>
<p>The problem is that while the stats you can find are somewhat useful, nobody but the UC staff know the complete story. The link I gave you shows that the admit rate for CC students was 4x those coming from other non-UC colleges, such as you are considering. Yet the average GPA of the CC and non-UC college admits is about the same. So at least 2 plausible stories. One, the non-UC college GPAs are skewed towards the low end; they took those above some cutoff, there just weren’t that many of them. Personally I’d put more faith in explanation #2, the UC system realizes that CC students are at the end of the road as far as education but those at non-UC colleges can continue where they were, so they simply take all the CC students they can handle and turn away equally qualified CSU kids.</p>
<p>I’m currently a student at SDSU and I got accepted to UCSD and UCLA this year. Still waiting on UCI and UCB. It can be done!</p>
<p>@sdsucsd
can you tell me the step by step on how please?? like message me it
Thank you!!!</p>
<p>Current cal poly student, admitted to ucsc, uci and ucsd this year so far!! Also, I transferred to cal poly from cc so it can definitely be done since I’ve taken mostly all upper division classes this year and still got accepted.</p>
<p>One thing to note is that all UC’s but UCLA take high unit juniors. If you are seriously looking at transferring to UCLA from a 4 year, make sure you watch that 86.5 semester/130 quarter unit cap! </p>
