<p>I am currently a freshman at a CC in California and I am already looking forward to a transfer in 3 semesters.</p>
<p>My goal is to go for a PhD in Experimental Psychology, to be more precise, I want to graduate with a Bachelor's degree first and then transfer to Stanford in order to get a PhD(I know it's not a piece of cake)</p>
<p>My question is, what would be the best choice to transfer to after 2 years of CC to get a bachelor's degree and have a chance to transfer to Stanford? Right now I am looking at UCSD/UCB/UCLA. If I take a look at online rankings, UCLA always places the highest overall, however UCSD woos with "one of the best Experimental Psychology programs" and well... Berkeley also, is supposed to be outstanding in research and has the highest prestige of those three. I don't really know where to go, applying to all of them is not an easy option, since UCSD for example has somewhat ridiculous requirements, such as calc 1 and calc2, which I don't really want to take if I don't have to...</p>
<p>I'd really appreciate every advise I could get in here. Thanks in advance!</p>
