<p>I live in Las Vegas, NV now and I will be attending UNLV in the fall of 2013 hopefully. I was wondering after two years of attending UNLV can I take a gap year to move to California and then apply to UCLA as a transfer student and get in-state residency?
Also, what might UCLA require for a transfer student? Will they require SAT/ACT scores? Will the gap year affect my chances of getting in? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I don’t know about the first question specifically, but I’m pretty sure you have to live in California for a certain amount of time to obtain residence (this is going to be done during your gap year?)</p>
<p>As for the 2nd question, they just want your college grades and what you did during college, etc. They won’t ask for SAT scores. And I don’t think the gap year will negatively affect your chances.</p>
<p>I’m planning to take a gap year after one year of university (overseas) then apply to ucla as well. I’ll be also applying to a summer course to gain some credit. i hope it works out for the both of us :)</p>
<p>There is much more to it than just moving to California for a year. You both really should read this link very carefully.</p>

<p>But, all of the tuition talk should somewhat be put on the back burner. For both of you, your major hurdles will be getting accepted.</p>
