Transfer from UC to Private?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>So I've decided on going to UCR this fall, but I'm really looking to transfer to a private in a year or two. UCR doesn't have my major (I know, I should've checked before I applied). I know UC-to-UC transfer is hard, but will it be difficult to transfer to a private? Sorry if this is a silly question, I just want to make sure!</p>

<p>UC to UC is not hard, it’s just priority will be given to CCC transfer students. If you’re GPA, ECs, and essays are very competitive, you have a good chance to get into another UC.</p>

<p>Transfer to a private will be just as difficult, depending in which school your aiming for.</p>

<p>Transferring to a private (whether you are in CC/UC/CSU) is a lot tougher than any transfer. Its doable, but at times such a pain.</p>

<p>The actual process is a little difficult and can be a little annoying when you need to figure out what classes transfer over (especially for upper div classes), but it’s not that difficult if you meet all the criteria. I went to UCSC as a freshman and was able to gain admission to other UC’s and privates by transferring. Let me know if you have any questions.</p>

<p>MidnightGolfer, Hi i’m new to this site and I know that you posted your response a little while ago but I will be a freshman at UCSC this year and I am dying to go the University of Miami. I have a few questions regarding how you went about transferring/your experience at UCSC. Did you apply as a transfer after two years at ucsc or only one year? Did your quarter credits get transferred (the freshman year credits)? And I just need help ahh hahaha</p>

<p>UC to a private isn’t that hard. It’s easier than getting admitted from high school. Just be sure your high school stats are good (SAT & GPA). If your HS GPA isn’t good, at least make sure the SAT is good. I believe the transfer admit rate for USC is actually quite high (around 30%).</p>

<p>And also, MidnightGolfer, what were your stats at UCSC and SAT to get into Cornell? Thanks!</p>

I’m going to attend ucsc this fall, but I want to transfer to uc chicago or columbia. My sat scores weren’t that great, and that’s the reason why I got denied to those schools, eventhough my gpa was good. MidnightGolfer is it possibel for me to transfer to those schools how did you do it??

@marylu123 it is unlikely you will get a response on a two year old thread…
