Sophomore Transfer?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I'm at an elite private school and I absolutely hate it. I want to move back to California as soon as possible, and I'm wondering which schools there accept transfer students for sophomore year? even if it's for spring admit, I'd be okay with that. I know UC schools make you wait until junior year, but i need to get out of this place. I don't really care about field of study, but I'd prefer southern CA somewhere close to the coast. I have all the high school grades/credentials to get in, and my college grades were pretty good as well, so anywhere is really an option. So far USC is the only school of which I know whose deadline hasn't passed. Thanks for your suggestions!</p>
