<p>I am currently a freshman at UC Davis, but I am planning to transfer to other University such as UCSD, don’t get me wrong here, UC Davis is a great school but it’s just me that I want to try a different environment, since it’s college and I want to experience to more places and people. So I was thinking to transfer to UCSD since their level of education is almost the same. I have absolutely no idea how to start or plan my transfer to other University, if anyone do know how to did similar things before, please leave a reply here and thanks so much!
ps: i am a computer science engineering major</p>
<p>If you are dead set on transferring to UCSD then your best option is to withdraw from UCD and attend a community college to reach 90 quarter units and apply with a TAG (transfer agreement guarantee). Otherwise, if you plan to transfer directly from Davis to SD, it will be a real big challenge because UC to UC applicants have lower priority than CC to UC applicants (transfer-wise).</p>
<p>P.S. I was a transfer student from a community college and TAG’d and accepted to D, I, SD, and SB. I picked Davis because it was close to home, and it was big mistake. When I was at Davis (EE major by the way), I spoke with my major advisor about the procedures of transferring, but she was no help at all. So I applied during application filing period and I have successfully transferred out of Davis to Cal Poly SLO. She mentioned that there is a program that allows you to spend a quarter at another UC (link below). I did not look into the program but you should talk to your major advisor and see how it goes from there.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>why would you ever want to transfer out of davis?? you gots me there ^___~</p>
<p>I like it here, personally. Maybe it’s because I am a mellow person or something. I never have any fear going outside and I like my neighbors (ALL of them are grad students/PhD candidates). I guess if you want a more hectic lifestyle San Diego or the Bay Area would suit your tastes better. As mentioned before, your best bet would be to withdraw from UCD, attend community college, and transfer. However, I HAVE heard that it is not difficult to transfer from one UC to another (less difficulty than what others let on) especially if you are in good standing with your current UC. I heard Cal State transfers are the hardest to transfer into the UC system (difference in purpose/philosophy?). Either way I don’t think it will be that difficult to transfer if that is what you want :/</p>
<p>Personally, I would try the quarter away to UCSD to test the waters and THEN try to transfer if I liked it.</p>
<p>I would give UCSD’s transfer center a call and ask questions. I know from the UC transfer thread that UCSD is VERY harsh when it comes to prereqs and are very strict with their guidelines for incoming transfers. The CC route would probably be better for SD because A LOT of transfers TAG in/apply and CCers get priority. Know that at a community college you can sign a transfer admission guarantee (TAG) into UCSD and have a guranteed spot if you meet their requirements.</p>
<p>Best wishes.</p>
<p>It’s possible. My friend was accepted to UCSD during his 3rd quarter at Davis. </p>

<p>"All UC campuses will consider intercampus transfers. To be competitive for intercampus transfer, you should complete the general education and major prerequisite requirements at your campus prior to the end of your sophomore year. The UC reciprocity agreement allows you to use the requirements from your campus to fulfill the requirements at the other UC campus.</p>
<p>Berkeley generally discourages intercampus transfer. Applicants with compelling reason for needing the transfer and those who have exceptional academic records and/or leadership potentials are more likely to be considered for acceptance.</p>
<p>UCLA gives the same priority to intercampus transfer applicants as CA community college transfer applicants.</p>
<p>The rest of the UCs vary in their admission policy regarding intercampus transfer priority. You may call the admissions offices to find out whether intercampus transfer applicants receive priority consideration."

<p>Do NOT drop out of UC Davis and go to a community college. Assuming you keep your grades up and take school seriously, transferring from Davis should not be a problem. Make sure you complete all of your GE requirements at Davis (due to UC Reciprocity, completing GE’s at Davis will waive you from GE’s at UCSD - see the above post ^). I would try to transfer in your third year.</p>
<p>UCSD has a unique college system - there are six colleges, completely unrelated to your major - which have different GE requirements. One, Revelle, has very difficult GE requirements and (according to what I have heard) they will not waive your GE requirements upon arriving. So I would avoid Revelle if possible.</p>
<p>How do I know any of this? I transferred from UCSD to Davis in Fall 2009. I also got into Berkeley as a transfer. My experience was fairly simple.</p>
