Junior Level Transfer? Transferring from a Cal State as a 3rd year to a UC?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

I am a second year undergrad student as a CSU and will be majoring in either nursing or math depending on if I get accepted into a nursing school. I read the admissions requirement on the UC website but I’m kind of confused regarding my situation. I am planning on apply to UCR as a junior level transfer my 3rd year of college if that is possible. Will I still be considered a junior level transfer if I apply my 3rd year in college or will that be to late?

The reason why I am applying late is because I still needed to finish all my GE’s for my school and others before I apply to their programs. Also, can somebody also tell me how impacted the math program for UCR is since I will be applying as a math major.

thanks in advance.

what applies here is the limits on what are called “high-unit juniors” or seniors. See page 32 of http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/quick-reference-2016.pdf

In a nutshell, if you have too many transferable units they may refuse to consider you, although the rules vary by campus and is in the link I gave. As long as all the classes you take are lower division then you will not exceed the cap at any campus. It is only when they start adding upper division units to your lower division units that you can exceed the cap, so as long as you have only lower-division units you are fine.
