Rejection because UCs will only have 2 quarters' worth of grades to judge me on?

<p>So I’m doing the UC-UC transfer route in one year. I just got out of high school last month, and right now I’m taking 14 units at my local Community College. I’m going to UCSC next year and I’ll have all my major prerequisites finished for my major (Physics). I want to go to UC Davis next year, but from what I’ve read around here, the UCs don’t like it when they only have one quarter of academic grades to base their decision off of. Davis will have 2 quarters to base their decision off of in my case (my grades from this summer, and my grades in the Fall at UCSC). I won’t be able to complete my lower division GEs, but again, ALL my major prerequisites will be completed. For ECs, I had about 1000+ hours of community service in high school (which counts for transfer apps as well, I think), and I’ll have a job at UCSC all through next year. </p>

<p>Assuming that I maintain a 3.5-4.0 GPA this quarter and my Fall quarter at UCSC, do you guys think that I’ll have a good chance of getting into UC Davis for Fall 2013 (Physics is an unimpacted major btw)? I know that Community College transfers get priority, but I’ve seen people transfer from a UC to another UC, so I know that it can definitely be done. I’m just worried that I might get rejected because Davis will only have 2 quarters’ worth of grades to judge me on (and maybe my Winter grades if they request them). Thanks for your info guys! :D</p>

<p>Personally, I dont see why you’re going to pay UCSC tuition for a more difficult transfer path than community college. I dont have much experience with the UC to UC transfer route but just note that it is much more expensive, harder to get As (from what Ive heard), but yet you need higher statistics. I suppose though, that having a better portfolio and outdoong the CCC transfers in every way couldn’t hurt. So definitely get an internship pertaining to your major, continue to volunteer, STUDY STUDY STUDY!, & try to get leadership positions at your job. I think, somewhat obviously, that they will look at a job pertaining to your major or more impressive as better. I.e. grocery clerk v.s. Investment banking ( I realize it’s almost impossible to get a job like this straight out of high school :P) </p>
