Need Help With Transferring to another college

<p>hi, i am currently attending UC Riverside, and I wanted to transfer to UCLA, or UC IRVINE right after my freshman year, because i despise it here. Can anybody help me out, on what i should write on my transfer application for reasons to transfer? do u think i should write that my family lives close by to both schools, or like they have stronger programs of study at those schools</p>

<p>any advice and comments appreciated thanks</p>

<p>so you're a first year? sorry to say but you have to stick it out one more year to transfer anywhere. Write about anything you feel that will get you into the schools; UCI doesn't even read essays.</p>

<p>Wow everyone hates UCR? O_O. Don't you like the fact it's closer to LA than the other UC's (besides UCLA of course)?</p>

<p>so, what does UC Irvine look at if not essays? gpa, volunteer service?</p>
