<p>I believe I have read that this is only allowed on rare scenarios. I believe I can make myself fit that rare scenario. I had a pretty good High school record. I sort of want to transfer as a sophomore, I get more time at my dream school and get into the dorms more than likely.</p>
<p>What will I need to do to transfer as a sophomore (Aerospace Engineer major and I would like to go to UCLA, my new hopes are for Stanford, but for this just use UCLA)? When will I need to apply and for what term would I enter? How many prereq and General Ed do I need to take at CC?</p>
<p>I admire the ambition of those that come here seeking advice on how transfer as a sophomore or finish CC in just one year. It is my understanding though that when you apply to transfer as a sophomore you are more or less put into a category where you compete for admission with high school seniors. Junior transfers don't need to do this, but as a sophomore transfer you would still have to submit high school transcripts, SAT's, test scores, etc, and as such, your probability of admission (compared to junior transfers) is lowered a great deal.</p>
<p>Here is a different scenario that might shed some light on your question:</p>
<p>University</a> of California - Counselors</p>
<p>A student who is a college freshman in a different state wants to live in California next year and attend a UC campus. Could he apply as a sophomore transfer student?</p>
<pre><code>Most UC campuses only accept junior-level transfer students, but he could contact the admissions office at the campus he wants to attend for further advice about his options. To be eligible for transfer as a sophomore, a student would have had to be UC eligible out of high school, as though he were applying as a freshman.
</code></pre>
<p>You need 60 units to transfer or you get rejected. I never heard of anyone with less than 60 transferring into a UC.</p>
<p>(UCLA definetely falls into the <em>must have 60 units</em> to transfer)</p>
<p>Right, you get rejected as a junior transfer if you don't have 60 units. But if you apply as a sophomore (to whichever UC's allow that), you're basically applying with all the high school kids as a freshman.</p>
<p>Moral of the story....60 units ftw.</p>
<p>Are you competing against freshman? No. You will need to meet the transfer selection requirements for the campuses you apply to. Please research which campuses are open to lower division transfers (sophomore level). Although not much help today, University</a> of California - Admissions will list which campuses and majors will consider lower division transfers. As an example at UC Davis only the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences will consider lower division transfers.</p>
<p>Please note, to be eligible as a lower division transfer you must have met UC freshman eligibility requirements as a high school student. If you did not complete the A-G or examination requirements before you graduated high school then you must complete requirements to apply as a Junior level student. This doesn't mean that you are competing against freshman applicants; it only means that you must have met the UC freshman requirements that were in place the year you graduated high school. Please see the lower division transfer information at University</a> of California - Counselors for more information.</p>
