Intercampus UC Transfer?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello everyone!
I have been reading college confidential for YEARS, and have finally decided to make an account and post, mainly because college, once again, is very stressful, and having all the help I can possibly get will hopefully remove some tension on my plate. So basically here are a few facts about me.</p>

<p>College: UC Santa Cruz
Major: Proposed TIM (Information Systems)
Cumulative GPA: Ended freshman year with a 3.62
Goal: Transfer to other (higher) UCs (CAL, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI) Also looking into NYU STERN and USC MARSHALL</p>

<p>I know my GPA isn't that good, but I have tried my hardest to keep it up and plan to get it higher second year. But since the quarter starts in October, I will be applying for my transfer with the gpa of 3.62. I will be finished with all of my TIM prereqs by the end of Sophomore year.
I wanted to get some opinions on my chances of a successful transfer? Is it even worth it? I am devoting some of my summer to write good essays. I know that an intercampus transfer is much harder because UCs reserve space for CC students, but I also think that my 3.62 GPA at UCSC is harder to obtain than a 3.62 at a CC. I also know that all of my classes are going to transfer over, and I am not worrying about GEs because I am only about 2 or 3 in, and don't have time to worry about them untill summer sessions anyways. I would like any opinions or conversations (: Thanks you guys.</p>

<p>If you can raise your gpa, I think it will help you. Being a California resident will help you. And coming up with a really good reason for transfer will help. Get 60 credit hours, and raise your gpa, get some strong extracurriculars and hope for the best buddy, I’m sure you can do it and if not there’s always grad school</p>
