<p>For any UCs, you are required to have 60 semester units/90 quarter units done or in progress for your application to be deemed eligible. You can look at the link below for more information regarding UC transfers. Also, going to a California Community College would assist you as all UCs place priority on CCC students.</p>

<p>As far as NYU, I asked about HS grades and scores because if you apply as a Sophomore those scores will be weighed more on your application. If you apply as a Junior, your scores will still have significance but your college grades will matter more. In addition, there are numerous prerequisites you have to take.</p>
<p>USC is similar but if you have 30 credits at the time of your application, they will waive your HS grades/ scores. You still need to submit your HS transcript but they will not take them into account. NYU has a similar policy where if you have accumulated over 30 units, they will waive the standardize score requirement.</p>
