<p>i hope the OP’s DD got some resolution for her situation. It appears that UCLA is NOT an option for the spring semester or next year, but would be for junior year, if the young woman wants to either continue at Pepperdien and do well enough to transfer then She’ll have saved money on two years of college doing things that way, which would make the UCLA cost a bit less of a bite. But regardless, it seems that she can’t transfer there without attaining junior status. </p>
<p>So if Pepperdine is so unbearable, since UCLA is not attainable, that means another college or chin up and getting another 3 terms in at Pepperdine to get a shot of transferring from some other school to UCLA.</p>
