<p>I'm thinking about dropping out of my current four year University school after finishing 3 full years and attend community college in California to transfer to one of UCs. But is that even possible? because I already have 3 years of college credits earned and I heard that they could be all counted towards the transfer credits, which will prevent me from transferring to UCs since it will sum up to a lot of credits. </p>
<p>Any upper div credit? </p>
<p>Seeing as you’ve already got senior standing, it’d be tricky. UCs want junior transfers… for CC students, they cap the number of units transferred in at 70, but 4 year schools have different policies and having that many credits will hurt you. But I’ve heard that some of the UCs are willing to work with students from 4-year schools, find ways around the limits, etc. So you might want to call individual schools you’re considering before you make any decisions.</p>
<p>Also, if you do manage to get accepted, UC is expensive for OOS. Make sure you’ll be able to afford it!</p>
<p>Is there any reason you don’t finish your degree at your current school? You have one year left there… it’d be at least another year before you could even apply to transfer to a UC, it doesn’t really make sense.</p>
<p>Probably not possible. Check out the websites for the specific UCs you’re interested in and see the policy.</p>
<p>Being honest, IMO the only UCs worth leaving a 4 yr for would be UCLA, Cal, and San Diego, and I don’t think it would work with any of those. Especially because you only have 1 more year. </p>

<p>good luck, this is the maximum unit chart</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>You have a shot at almost every UC if you have less than 90 units, but even then you should consider talking to the ones you’re considering before applying</p>
<p>I think I saw your previous post… you want to go from U-dub to CC then to a UC for engineering.</p>
<p>As you may be aware, by transferring to CC you will most likely go over your unit cap.
plus since your units with the Huskies is going to be more than you CC units for transferring purposes you will be treated as a Out of State student, decreasing your chances of admission.</p>
<p>If you really want to study engineering I have an alternative suggestion:
you can start taking math and science background classes while your are at U-dub and then try to apply for Engineering graduate programs. UW is the premier institution in the Northwest so you can be a competitive applicant for Graduate programs nationwide.</p>
