<p>Out of curiosity, if somebody wanted to transfer from a peer institution on the East Coast to UCLA, how difficult would it be? I saw that 93% of admitted transfers are from community colleges. That doesn't leave a lot of room for people transferring from 4 year schools.</p>
<p>UCLA has an agreement with California community colleges to admit students who get their prerequisites done at their local cc.
As a public university funded by the taxpayers of California, seems fair to serve Californians first.</p>
<p>This page offers statistics on out-of-state transfers to UCLA</p>

<p>It’s as the poster above mentions, California CC students get priority…by law. Hopefully, things will change in the coming years, as less and less funding comes from the state. They really need to start bringing in more out-of-state transfers and getting some of that much needed OOS tuition revenue…imo of course.</p>
