<p>hey i go to san diego state university right now, im a freshman, i just started like last week. however, im not sure how long i want to stick around at this school, and by the end of this year i will probably have around 48 units. i was wondering if its possible to transfer out of SDSU to another 4 year college like davis or santa clara university ... some place like that. i know you can do it in 2 years and transfer as a junior, but im wondering if i can transfer as a sophomore. thankkkkksss</p>
<p>hi sockherplayer, I remember seeing your posts last spring about ucsb and I'm sorry to hear it sounds like sdsu isn't working out for you. The UC schools don't care about time (eg frosh year, sophomore year, etc), they just care about units. To be considered as a transfer you have to have 90 units (quarter-system units) of transferable credit.</p>
<p>If you're still thinking of ucsb then perhaps you could spend next year there taking classes at sbcc, get into the guaranteed admission program, and then the next year you'd be in at ucsb. I know it isn't quite what you're looking for, but on the other hand ucsb only houses students for 1 year so next year all the sophomores will be living in isla vista, where you'd be. At you could take advantage of most of the ucsb resources, like we talked about before. </p>
<p>If you're thinking of this, I'd suggest talking to a counselor at sbcc to make sure it'll all work out because I'm not an adcom; but I think that if you take classes that don't transfer credit you can accumulate more than 60 semester units so you could spend a full year at SBCC taking classes rather than hitting the limit and having to go back home. </p>
<p>And ucsb says on its web site that it MAY consider students for winter quarter admission. If you have 48 units this year, maybe you could have 60 by next winter and qualify. I'd call them and see if they think its likely they'll accept winter xfers. But if that works out, it would be almost exactly what you want; you'd live in IV regardless of whether you're a sbcc or ucsb student, and in january (instead of september) you'd start at ucsb.</p>
