Transfer chances for USC, UCLA, Berkeley?

<p>I am currently a sophomore at the University of Oregon. I am looking at possibly transferring to a UC or USC. Last year I got a 3.43 for the year and for this fall quarter I got a 4.0 including an A in o-chem. I had nearly straight A's in the second half of high school (I think USC is the only one that looks at this). Roughly what are my chances of getting into one of the above schools?</p>

<p>if you had 30 credits last year and 15 this fall then that works out to 3.6 roughly which I’d say is very competitive for USC…are you a CA resident? if so UCLA is doable Cal doubtful</p>

<p>Yes I am a California resident. I have been taking fairly challenging courses (premed and applying as an econ major). I expected Cal to be a stretch. When you say very competitive does that mean a good chance?</p>

<p>does USC require SAT scores? and if so what were your stats? I think a 3.6 will make you viable @ USC I’d guess 50% chance at both knowing you’re a CA resident now (for UCLA). Essays/LOR’s etc are probably the key at this point as your stats are certainly good enough but not 4.0 good enough to say 99% you’re in</p>

<p>1960 sat 29 act. I think USC is the only one that looks at those for transfers though. And none of these schools want letters of recommendation</p>

<p>interesting didn’t know about no LOR’s for SC…might toss an application over there as well then. I’d say you’re solid for both UCLA/USC and between the two I bet you get into one if not both…cal dunno but worth a shot for sure but guessing less than 50% there</p>

<p>What about Davis and Santa Barbara? I know that most UC transfers are from CCC’s. How are my chances affected since I’m applying from a 4-year? Also I applied as an econ major, how does that affect things?</p>
