How many times can I apply to a UC school?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I applied to some schools last fall(07) but i only got into 2 of them (santa barbara and davis) and i was rejected by Ucla and Berkeley.</p>

<p>So i was thinking to take some community college courses this fall and apply again as an incoming freshmen to the UCs that I didn't apply before, and to the ones i was rejected from.</p>

<p>that way i could transfer those credits and not start as a freshman.</p>

<p>ps. my space at those other two schools is still there.</p>

<p>Is this possible? If i got rejected from those schools again could i apply again as a junior transfer?</p>

<p>Of course you can apply to the schools that rejected. They wouldn't even remember that you applied. Plus you will be judged by the transfer student criteria rather than as a freshman. You are better off just going to a community college and finish your GEs and lower divs. Transfer students get a higher priority over UC to UC transfers.</p>

<p>^ They will know if you applied before as there is a box on the application asking have you ever applied before.</p>

<p>does it affect if i check or don't check the box that says that?</p>

<p>let's say that i apply again this year and i get rejected. can i apply again the next year or does the UCs have a sytem that says that person can only apply to their schools a certain number of times?</p>

<p>My understanding is that if you enroll in community college after graduating from high school you can no longer apply as a freshman. I think you'd have to not take any courses anywhere if you want to apply again as a freshman. If you enroll in any college whatsoever, I believe that makes you a transfer student. You need to check this carefully.</p>

<p>^ yup once you go to any college out of high school your considerate a transfer student.</p>

<p>do you guys know how hard is to get into UCLA? i'm going for their cinema and theater school?</p>

<p>is it hard to transfer there?</p>

<p>Yes, they accept like 4% or some other tiny number in that vacinity. </p>

<p>Also you need 60 units to transfer .</p>

<p>there is no box...</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you can't apply as a freshman once you start earning units in a CC.
Most UCs only allow upper division or junior level transfer so you'd need at least 60 units for that.
Try to find your school's transfer counselor or find out if your desired UC has a transfer alliance program with the school you'll be attending...</p>

<p>You may apply to the UC system as often as you want or is possible (we might be closed to accepting applications during certain terms). No previous decision is considered, regardless of the outcome, to make the current decision.
It is correct that a transfer applicant is any student that has enrolled for and/or attended College or University courses during any normal academic term after graduating high school (Summer session immediately following graduation is allowed).</p>

<p>otherwise i would have to not report those units in order to be qualified as a freshman.</p>

<p>All courses completed should always be reported regardless if taken at your high school or university level. The only difference is what application the student files. Of course the transfer application does not ask for high school information; this information will be asked for if needed when the application is reviewed.</p>

<p>As a transfer, as long as you take classes at a community college, you can apply as many times as you want as ive seen in other posts</p>
