<p>ehhh anybody hear about transfering in a year? Well i am attending UCR right now as a first year in Bioengineering and i feel as if UCI is a better place for me.......anybody know about UC to UC transfer to UCI or trying to transfer in a year?</p>
<p>yup, two of my friends transferred to uci after a year.</p>
<p>well was it like they had a lot of classes or did they just have like 15-16 units per quarter?....PLEASE "hobo" if you can help me anything i will greatly appreciate it, but i will be making an apoinment with an admissions counselour for the College of engineering to further discuss it.</p>
<p>i'm not too sure how many units they took each quarter, but i'm sure they did not overload. UCI accepts sophmore transfers so as long as you do alright at UCR you should be accepted. One of my friends actually did a double transfer UCR > UCI > UCLA, he was a poli sci major. </p>
<p>the poli sci major had about a 3.8 gpa while my other friend, a bio major had aobut a 3.4ish gpa.</p>
<p>if you can't get in, try for a junior transfer, i got into ucsd. i recently visited UCI (second time there) and it seems like an awesome place. I like the environment, the city, the cleanliness of irvine. i'd definitely recommend UCI over UCR anyday.</p>
<p>Hey i just talked to the guy from the COE of UCI, and he told me that if you want to transfer in one year, you need to send in your highschool gpa and your SAT scores. I told him about my hoghschool gpa and also the gpa that i recieved from taking comunity college classes and how the CC classes have a higher GPA than my highschool (14 units). So basically he told me that yeah with that GPA that you have it is beeter to wait for the Junior transfer instead.......THERE HAS GOT TO BE ANOTHER WAY!!!!!!!</p>
<p>you can always try for uci.. just do well your first quarter and see what happens. at worst you'll be out 80 bucks.</p>
<p>yeah but how can i have my first quarter grades in there when my app is due at the end of november</p>
<p>ps. my sat was 1740 and my highschool gpa was barely a 3.0</p>
<p>there's an update form you do in january... at least that was the case for juniors.</p>
<p>Not to be a downer, but unexpectedly this year, 400 more students accepted admissions to UCI than what was originally planned for. This has also caused a housing shortage. Because of this, I think the UCI admin department will be even more strict with transfers than they have in the past.</p>
<p>Sup hockey, I'm in the same situation as you are; screwed up in HS (got a 3.2 GPA sub 1800 SAT score) and now attending UCR as a freshman. I've how people have transferred from UCR to UCI, UCSD, and UCLA from friends and family but then I also heard that it's not possible to transfer after freshmen year. Something like 90 units are required to transfer from here to another UC. This makes sense since CC's usually do that "2-year transfer to UC" program but that conflicts with things that I've heard. My cousin attending UCLA said that one of her friends transferred from UCR to UCLA after a year but I don't think that person took 90 units her first year to transfer. Hmm....</p>
<p>ey super what dorms are you staying at?.....but yeah I went to the career counselor and she told me that it is possible to transfer out in a year?!.....that does make me wonder</p>
<p>basically you can transfer out in a year if you
A.) have 90 quarter untis completed (considered a junior transfer)
B.) transfer to a school that accepts sophmores (UCI, UCSC?? UCM)</p>
<p>just stick it out for a year or two and transfer in, if you hate ucr that mcuh go to a community college after your first year. Your gpa from UCR transfers over unlike community college transfers so you can use UCR to boost your overall gpa.</p>
<p>Hmm i have a question. So it's possible to transfer after freshmen year to irvine or stanta cruz but then on the UC application, they want you to put in your grades as of right now for college. The Fall 2006 quarter hasn't even ended yet. How does Irvine choose who to admit if you don't have your grades yet?</p>
<p>hi, i am currently a hs senior and i think my only option is ucr. </p>
<p>i dont want to go to a cc, either uc or csu. i wanted to know if its easier to transfer from a csu to a uc or a uc to a uc?</p>
<p>also, do ppl transfer after fall semester or does it have to be done after completing one year?</p>
<p>does ucsb or ucd accept soph transfers?</p>
<p>Sup Caliguy. I was in the same situation as you are in last year. I would have gone to a CC instead but my parents had "CC = failure" engrained into their heads so they wouldn't let me go. I done some research about CSU -> UC and I heard that it is quite hard to do. UC's place the most priority to Community College transfers than they do to UC students and CSU to UC is the least possible. I would just go to CC for one year and try transferring to UCI if you wanna go to a UC since all the rest of the UC's (except for UCSC) require sophmore standing or 90 college units to transfer. From what I've surmised, UCI accepts sophmore transfers but only if space permits. You might as well go to JC/CC, get decent grades, and transfer to Davis for Junior year or get good grades and you will probably have a nice shot at UCLA or SD. Good luck</p>
<p>i dont want to go to a cc because i want to dorm and get the college experience.</p>
<p>after talking with some friends, they said that the university is so much different than cc. also, i do not want to risk the chance of messing up at a cc. i dont mind going to any other uc campus aslong as its not ucr or ucm.</p>
<p>Well if you wanna transfer your best bet is a CC; you will save a ton of money and you can just focus on school for one or two years, get into a nice UC and chillout. UCR is not that bad though but I wouldn't go to UCM since that place is way too small. I think you just might like it a lot at UCR as I find that the dorm experience isn't too much different from say UCI's. My dorm hall is kinda quiet (but sociable) but I kinda like it that way cuz I don't prefer too noisy. You can always change rooms if you don't your dormmates or hall. You still have a chance to get into like UCI or UCD or somethin...I know some people who got wack grades + SATs and they got in UCD while I got better than them and only got in UCR. Just pray to God I quess hahahahaa</p>
<p>money is not an issue but i do want to go somewhere where i can study and crack the book open aswell as party it up and have fun.</p>
<p>my parents are not going to let me go to a cc, hopefully i will get into ucd or something, grades and sat are horrible but i think my essay was pretty good.</p>
<p>Here is a link to a page with all of the UC Transfer numbers for both community college and For-Year Transfer students.</p>
<p>I just want to add a couple things since I attended both a community college and UCR. The first thing I disliked about the community college I attended was many classes were dumbed down, didn't teach much, and there is a very noticeable difference in the amount you learn at a four year school compared to a jc. A personal example I had was taking an accounting class that was practically the same at both schools, yet I learned so much more in a quarter at UCR then I did in a 16 week semester at the junior college. This led me to feeling I was unprepared for some of the tougher upper division classes that I entered into when I transferred, and that I was behind in many ways due to a lack of challenging material at community colleges.</p>
<p>Now I don't want to say that you shouldn't attend a community college first, or that your experience will be like mine, but personally I wished I avoided the community college route altogether. Going for the prestige of UCLA, UCB, etc. is great and all, but it's going to be a tough challenge entering those schools as a junior after attending a community college for a couple years. (It's all up to you though! Don't ever base your choice on one person's opinion).</p>
