<p>I will be attending UCR in the fall but i want to know what i need to do to transfer to UCLA in the near future. I hear its really hard to transfer from a non-community college but how hard is it?</p>
<p>i was told by other people that it's hard to transfer from a UC to a UC. community college kids get priority [ or so i've heard ], then it is high school students, and then university students. the reason is because you're already at a university, so you have a place to be at, versus the community college kids&high school kids who do not.</p>
<p>you can always call up UCLA and ask them for more information on their transfer requirements. i think a good reason to transfer would be if UCLA has the program/major you want but UCR does not. if UCR does have the program, i don't think saying "UCLA is more prestige than UCR" makes it a good reason to choose you over other applicants. </p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>No. High school students do not compete with transfers. </p>
<p>It depends entirely on your major and your gpa. If your grades are high enough, or if you aren't in a terribly impacted major, it will be an easier transfer.</p>
<p>CCC students DO get priority, mainly because the transfer system was ESTABLISHED for CCC students. That said, plenty of UC->UC transfers happen. If anything, it's the most difficult to transfer from a CSU or an OOS school to a UC. </p>
<p>If you're serious about attending UCLA, be on top of your transfer progress from day 1. This means figuring out your major, taking the appropriate GEs and Lower-Divs, and keeping your grades as high as possible. ECs will help but they don't make or break transfers. Also, realize that you're going to be at Riverside for two years, so you might as well make the best of your time there.</p>
<p>i think its going to be harder than i thought since im a business major</p>
<p>Yes. </p>
<p>Again, high grades. </p>
<p>It's the absolute biggest factor, no matter where you're coming from.</p>
<p>it's easy.
If you just get 4.0 and do couple of Leadership programs and some volunteering and get employed and write a near-perfect essay while winning 3 or 4 scholarships/awards, then you are guaranteed to get admitted.</p>
<p>No sweat :)</p>

<p>it's more difficult but not impossible. UC's don't give preference to four-year colleges in terms of transfer admissions. however, i do know of at least two of my high school friends who were accepted as transfers from UCR to UCLA.</p>
<p>I would simply recommend to attend a community college if your transfer goal is UCLA. You'd save a lot of money for your parents so you can splurge on that nice apartment in Westwood :)</p>
<p>what if im an athlete???</p>
