<p>Nice, I’m excited to hear that. I emailed each specific UC to hear from them though, just in case.</p>
<p>@ Grimes99, According to UCLA’s statistics on transfer admissions they accepted about 10% of transfer applicants from OOS four year colleges and universities but only about 5% of CSU transfer applicants. Therefore, CSU transfer applicants to UCs really do have the absolute lowest priority.</p>
<p>@Nabilesmail, I think the academic rigor at CSUs is similar to that of the UCs but the UCs get the more capable students. That is why the graduation rate for CSUs averages less than 50% while the graduation rate for the UCs averages over 80% and is over 90% for UC Berkeley which gets the best of the UC students. UCSD had the questions and answers to a Calculus 20 (for math, physical science and engineering majors) midterm on its website and I compared them to a midterm in the equivalent course that my son, a Geology major, is taking at CSU Sacramento and my impression was that the the UCSD exam was certainly no more difficult and might actually have been a little easier than the Sac State Calculus midterm covering the same material. However, since on average UCSD students have higher Math SAT scores than CSU Sacramento students, the majority of the UCSD students will pass the exam and eventually graduate while a large percentage of the CSU Sacramento students will not pass the exam and will never get their degrees. Only 42% of students who enter Sac State leave with a diploma.</p>
<p>^ Be careful with that. My friend who just took Math 20C said at UCSD he was not allowed to use a calculator on exams, while I had a friend who took calculus at Sonoma State and was allowed to use a TI-89. So while the questions may be similar not being able to use a calculator would certainly make the class more difficult.</p>
<p>YAY! I emailed UCLA and asked them what I’m considered. And they are considering me as a CC student!! </p>
