The link you provided says an applicant would have to spend two terms before admission. Not before their application. (They must also earn at least 30 semester units at the CC they switch to prior to admission). Similarly, lower and upper division standing is determined by the number of units you would have at the end of the term prior to transferring. As a result, one year transfers who amass 60+ units by the end of the spring term get the same priority. If the OP did their sophomore year at a CC he/she would fulfill the two term requirement and thus be given the same priority (assuming the other conditions are fulfilled as well).</p>
<p>Aside from that, @OP
If you want to transfer to Cal. Going to a community college would be your best option. Furthermore, the sooner you go, the better.</p>
