<p>Self-explanatory title. I absolutely do not want to go the CC route. So, for those who have done this or know people who have done this, how difficult is it? What are the stats I should have to be considered a competitive transfer applicant? How many years will this generally take? I plan on being a full-time student. If I was to transfer to a UC, it would be either UCI,UCD, or UCB. I am really keen on attending UCI. I will be attending CSU Monterey Bay, or possibly Los Angeles. Intended major is Biology, and I know that is very competitive pretty much EVERYWHERE. Any and all help is appreciated, Thanks.</p>
<p>Transfers from 4 year colleges have the lowest priority. Your best plan would be to have a TAG agreement from a CC for UCI or UCD… UCB does not participate in the TAG program. I would definitely contact admissions at UCI and UCD to find out for sure your options before committing to a CSU and finding out you are unable to transfer. </p>
<p>Agree that UCs are MUCH more interested in accepting CC transfers and have not heard of them accepting CSU transfers. Check out what you’re doing before you make moves that preclude your future plans.</p>
<p>When we were at UCSD last week, the speaker talked about transfers. He said the largest priority by far was given to CC transfers. I think he said something like 93% of transfers are from CCs. I don’t remember exactly but it was an extremely high number like that. </p>
<p>If you are determined to go to a UC, plan to go the CC route. Otherwise, there are many great CSUs. Plan to find one you love and attend all 4 years.</p>
