<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I am currently a Freshman at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA. I am wondering if it looks better as a transfer student post freshman yr or post sophomore yr or does it matter for UCLA? I hear that it is slightly easier to transfer as a junior. First semester I got a 3.6 gpa and am involved in many leadership roles already. I have an excellent internship lined up this summer in Beverly Hills as well. If I keep these grades and stay involved do you guys think I have a good shot for transfering to UCLA for junior yr?</p>

<p>Also I will have 60 credits after sophomore year so its okay to apply for junior year right?</p>

<p>Thanks lemme know</p>

<p>I'm not sure if it's true, but I've read here on CC that UCLA only takes jr. transfers. You might want to peruse the UC transfer forum</p>

<p>yes, they classify "junior" standing as someone who has completed 60 units or more.</p>

<p>I think you'd have a better shot at transferring from a community college.</p>

<p>order of priority for transfers:</p>

<p>CA community college
UC to UC
Other state or 4 year institution</p>

<p>knowing little about you, its safe to say your chances of admission are about 16% because that's the acceptance rate for xfers from other 4-year schools in 2008. See UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students, Fall 2008</p>

<p>You can't transfer until you'll be a junior when you're starting at ucla. Keep in mind they also have a cap on how many units you're allowed to have when applying.</p>

<p>A lot of your questions can be answered by reading the transfer info page right on the ucla admissions website.</p>
