<p>Okay, taking a step back… why do you want to transfer, and where? What’s your major? Why are you unhappy at your current school?</p>
<p>CCC does get priority, but it’s not automatic admission into whatever UC you’d like. You’ll still need to work hard and get good grades. And CC isn’t fun… there’s practically no social life, and academics are hit or miss (usually worse than a 4-year school).</p>
<p>Depending on your goal, transfer might still be out of reach… UCLA and UCB in particular are pretty competitive, even for transfers from a CCC. I think the admissions rate is ~20%? If those are your top choices, realize that you might end up somewhere else instead… even if you’re at a CCC for a year.</p>
<p>Other big factor to consider: Cost. Will you be considered in state by the time you get to UC? It’s hard to get residency if your parents aren’t in the state, and OOS tuition is expensive. Make sure you can afford it!</p>
