<p>How hard is it to transfer from a private to a UC?</p>
<p>I am interested in transferring from a private school with the quarter system to UCLA or UCB. I have been told that is easier from community college, but I was wondering how hard it was for privates. </p>
<p>It's hard to say. The UC's are obligated to help CC students first and foremost, because most CCer's pay state taxes. If you have the grades and the reasons, I am sure it won't be that difficult. I'd check some of the UC threads that you can find and sift through. </p>
<p>If you post some more info like stats,where you go now, why you want to transfer, where you want to transfer; people can answer your question better.</p>
<p>I can tell you that the son of a friend of mine transferred from an oos private to a UC (not UCB/UCLA). He was a California resident. He found that a number of his fellow transfers had come from oos schools. This was a few years ago, but I'm not aware that anything would have changed.</p>
<p>If you are not a California resident, probably much more difficult. Never impossible, though.</p>
<p>Maybe try emailing or PM to CardinalFocused. Despite the name, he ended up at Cal or UCLA, I forget which. I think he was cc, but he knows a lot about the transfer process to a UC and may have specific info for you. There may well be other knowledgeable posters, but he's the one I remember. He was always coming around offering to help others.</p>
