<p>.. yeah.. is it even possible?</p>
<p>As long as you have good grades, you should be fine. If you have not so good grades, then think otherwise.</p>
<p>Check with the admissions office for more details. I don’t believe you would be able to transfer out after 1 year since you need to meet unit/credit requirements. Even if you petition to take more than the maximum amount of units per quarter you may not do that great no matter how smart you think you are. Don’t jeopardize you chances by stressing.</p>
<p>Here’s the info I got from an old UCI catalog</p>
<p>To be considered for admission, students must fulfill the UC transfer admission requirements which for most students include the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of transferable college credit with a grade point average of at least 2.4 (no more than 14 semester units or 21 quarter units may be taken Pass/Not Pass)</li>
<li>Complete the following course pattern requirement, earning a grade of C or better in each course:
1. Two transferable college courses (3 semesters or 4-5 quarter units each) in English composition
2. One transferable college course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning
3. Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, the physical and biological sciences</li>
</ol>
<p>You most likely cannot transfer after one year. Basically, spend two years at UCR and you can probably get into most of the UCs if you have a 3.5+ or so and complete all the requirements. </p>
<p>However, if you are just going to the school to transfer, I would recommend that you attend CC.</p>
<p>^ Why is that?
I was thinking of going to riverside, getting to maybe start on a project and then continuing after (HOPEFULLY) transferring.</p>
<p>@Invisible </p>
<p>If you are asking why you cannot transfer after one year, it is because there is enough competition already coming from second year students. If you are asking why I don’t recommend transferring from UCR, it is because it is hard. Sure, its possible. I am doing it, and a handful of others on the UC transfer forum are doing it, but maintaining a high GPA at a UC campus is no easy task, especially if your major is in the sciences. I’m going to be honest. Of all my friends who told me that they were going to transfer after two years of Santa Cruz, about three had the grades after a year of classes.</p>
<p>ALSO you should go to a CC/JC for 2/3 years if you want to transfer to a “better” UC because the mentality of the people making the decisions is that you are already in a UC system, give someone else a a chance…you have to do VERY well, not just meet the minimum requirement…No Joke, I have a friend that worked in admissions at UCI, inter-UC transfers are stricter</p>
<p>Most of my friends from high school that went to UCR all said that they would try to transfer out after a year (obviously didn’t want to attend in the first place). Sad to say, most of them will not be able to go where they want to go… or even transfer at all. You have to have top-notch grades in order to transfer. Don’t expect to do the bare minimum and transfer to the university of your choice. UCs HAVE to accept a certain % of students from community colleges, so those students will have priority over you. After all, you will already be in a UC.</p>
<p>After all, you will already be in a UC."</p>
<p>Calculus in Berkeley is no harder than Calculus in Rside</p>
<p>^I seriously doubt that is true.</p>
<p>he is called prof Khang aka the devil himself aka I Leart ( beside Ilearn)</p>
<p>That is his opinion. Common sense would say that the student body at UCB cannot be compared to the student body at UCR. In a class where the curve is important (calculus), it would be much harder at Berkeley.</p>
<p>but the material is the same and i nooooo way are the kids in Rside dumb. I have a friend who got accepted to Columbus who is attending ucr, and a hallmate who turned down Cal to take the full ride to rside</p>
<p>The material may be the same, but the expectations are not. Your personal examples are outliers and do not add any substance to your argument. I have friends who got into Stanford/Cal/etc who chose UCSC, but that does not change the fact that the Santa Cruz student body as a whole is not as capable as the UCB student body as a whole. </p>
<p>I am not saying the students at Riverside (or SC) are stupid, I am just saying that getting an A at Riverside is easier than getting an A at Berkeley.</p>
<p>yeah in a way i guess.</p>
<p>If Calculus class is graded on a curve, then the claim that getting an A at Riverside is easier than getting an A at Berkeley is likely true.</p>
<p>Else it is possible that the expectations are the same, and consequently students at UCR get lower grades compared to students at UCB (the latter of which I think is true).</p>
<p>Either way, what does it matter?</p>
<p>well getting an a in calculus in Rside is no easy task. specially if there is a curve f-u-c-k-e-r . You still have to study your ass off to get a B in precal. If you come in with that mentality your are going to get raped by scotty.</p>
<p>btw rape is a common word in ucr. It means that that class did bad things to you</p>
<p>What do they normally do? I’m curious</p>
<p>LiveTheLimit…What do you mean " What do they normally do?"</p>
<p>Are you asking about calculus course at Riverside? If so look at this…there are sample tests with answers:</p>

<p>Sapipa177,
I still have no idea what i meant, for i wrote that at almost midnight. I would hope it’s what you stated, but again, I am not sure. Thanks for the site! It was really helpful. Also, how fast does the class go?</p>
