Florida to UC Davis

<p>Hola,
so I'm currently a junior in high school and thanks to a recent trip to Cali, i've fallen in love with it and would love to attend college there. Does anyone know anything about transferring? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>What do you want to know? You’ve asked an extremely open-ended question with absolutely no effort on your part.</p>

<p>Attend a community college here and apply for transfer. If you complete certain classes and have a certain GPA then you can guarantee yourself into UC Davis via TAG for most majors.</p>

<p>Expect to pay out of state fees if your parents don’t move here as well, or else you will have to wait till you’re 24 to claim residency. Unless you’re a super genius in high school with an IB diploma, the odds are likely against you at getting in. UC and CSU are still just state schools for the state residents. You could try to get into private/smaller colleges in the state, one that 99% of residents aren’t trying to get into.</p>

<p>OOS students actually have a good shot at the UC’s right now as the UC’s need the extra revenue. Overall, the UC system is aiming to raise enrollment of OOS students to 10% over the next couple of years. - I think it is currently at around 7%. So if you maintain a good GPA at your community college, you will have a good shot at transferring to a UC.</p>

<p>-DD attends Davis, but we are California residents and don’t pay OOS tuition. Your grades and SAT scores need to be competitive, so that’s the first “hurdle”.</p>

<p>-California doesn’t offer scholarships to OOS students. So your parents are probably looking at close to $55K per year after all your expenses are tabulated. That’s a LOT of money. </p>

<p>-If you decide to go the CC route in California, you couldn’t get **residency status<a href=“until%20the%20age%20of%2024”>/b</a> so you would have to pay OOS fees at the CC.</p>

<p>What is DD!? Daughter something, something daughter?</p>

<p>mike: would this be like a “direct connect” from a cc to a larger university?</p>

I believe DD is an acronym for “dear daughter.” At the risk of sounding a bit rude, IMO it’s an overused term of endearment that I think middle-aged women on the internet believe is cute. There’s D(everything)… DH = Dear Husband, DS = Dear Son, DN = Dear Niece/Nephew, etc. Don’t ask me why I know this.</p>

<p>I’ve always wanted to know what DD/DS meant too… I though it was “Designated” lol.</p>

<p>As a middle-aged woman I don’t think DD is cute, I use it because it’s efficient.</p>

<p>Yes, if you meet a certain GPA requirement and complete certain classes. Keep in mind that this is not avilable for a majors.</p>
