<p>Hello, first time posting. So I've been googling for an answer for the past 3 days and have yet to found a FIRM answer. I've heard from many people in Cali that it's possible but how about non residents?</p>
<p>Long story short, I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and about to start my Freshman year in college. For financial reasons I've decided to attend La Salle University (on a scholarship) to save my family some money. In High School, my GPA was a 4.0 and I ranked 22 in my graduating class. How hard is it to transfer into UCI as a Sophomore? </p>
<p>I plan on working very hard during my First year at La Salle, (I'm going for 30 units/credits, plus an additional 4 credits from my Criminal Justice class during HS and maybe more from my AP Eng Lit Test.) So I might have around 34-35 after my 1st year.</p>
<p>I need a spot of hope. Yeah that was lame, but I'm hoping there is a good chance or some slight possibility that I can transfer into UCI after my Freshman year. Is it possible? If it is, what steps should I take to make it happen? Thanks. And any real success stories will make me feel better haha..</p>
<p>And I understand that would make me a lower division student since I don’t have the 60 units.</p>
<p>Any help?</p>
<p>I also found one problem…reading the requirements</p>
<p>I’m 100% sure I fufilled the Subject Requirements (a-g). Only problem is the Examination Requirements…I took the SAT Reasoning Tests but never took 2 SAT Subject Tests, the guidance counselor at my HS pretty much told me it’s not needed -_-…Am I screwed?</p>
<p>No you’re fine, the UC’s don’t require SAT scores from transfers</p>
<p>I think they check if you have less than 60 units…</p>
<p>Yeah I know but I’m hearing I can transfer as a Lower Division Transfer, link is up below.</p>
<p>Are you sure, even if I’m a Lower Division Transfer? In the Lower Division section:</p>
<p>[University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_adm_reqs.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/transfer/tr_adm_reqs.html)</p>
<p>It requires ‘Statewide Eligibility’ unless I’m exempt from that since I’m not from California…?</p>
<p>Any rep that can answer my question?</p>
