looking for a transfer college - advice/suggestions?

<p>Since I am located in CA, the natural choices would be the UC and CSU systems. I know that I could get into a CSU, no problem. My first question is: </p>

<p>How do I rate in terms of likelihood of getting accepted into a UC given my stats below? Out of the UC system, I'm most interested in UCB, secondly UCLA, but opinions on any UC are welcome!</p>

<p>Secondly, I would like opinions on colleges outside of the UC system that would be a good fit for me. LAC (liberal arts colleges) are preferable, but anything goes! PR.com listed Cornell as a "good match" college... hmm. Well, like I said, anything goes! </p>

<p>PS: Thanks, everyone!</p>

<li>I don't work (save for freelance Ebay-ing)</li>
<li>I barely graduated high school (and I do mean <em>barely</em>) and I earned a 1.38 GPA my first semester at OCC. I'm hoping that the four lined-out D's and F's from my first few semesters in college and the row of uninterrupted A's that follow them will aid in swaying the admissions judges.</li>

<p>What were your SAT scores? You'll need them for Cornell and most other private colleges.</p>

<p>have not taken an SAT yet, first and only shot in October, but I'm sure I'll be able to make something out of that 550 M by then! :)</p>

<p>OH. That's OUT of. Okay. Didn't get that.
I thought it was a range or something - or what you thought you could improve to.</p>
