Hi, I start school at Santa Monica College and I’m from Louisiana. Does coming from an out state school significantly affect my chances to transferring to colleges in California (I heard the UCLA transfer rates are high) or out of state. I plan on majoring in Chemistry
If you apply to transfer to UCLA from Santa Monica college, assuming you’re talking about the one in Los Angeles area, then you are not coming from an out of state School so I’m not really following your post.
Also be sure you can afford the cost of UCLA without financial aid since nine will be available to you.
You will pay out of state tuition, but in terms of admissions, the UC will assess you simply as a CCC priority student.
