<p>I've seen some numbers and taken cursory glances at other posts about it, but from a wholistic view or opinion, how hard is it relatively to transfer into most UC's from out of state. Good grades and SAT's, community service included. I don't really want to get into scores and all because i"m just looking for opinions.</p>
<p>ur best bet, is to move to cali....go to community college here..and then transfer....with schools like irvine, santa cruz, and riverside...the acecptence percentage can go as high as the low 60%...</p>
<p>is it true that if you don't live in California, but you have relatives there, you will be charged with the in-state fee if you live with your relatives there?</p>
<p>Out-of-state transfer is more difficult but totally possible. Berkeley admitted 25% of their transfers overall in 2005, out-of-state was like 20%. I got that from the Berkeley website. Most of the UC's are good about that kind of info if you look for it. I want to transfer to a UC school too and I was really confused at first cuz people told me it was nearly impossible to tranfer, only 5% of student body was from out-of-state, blah blah blah. After I researched it I realized:
1. It is more dificult to transfer from out of state and
2. Out-of-state applicants make up only like 5% of the applicant pool. (Berkely only had like 360 out-of-state apps and accepted 64). </p>
<p>Anyways, I have looked into this a lot... definately difficult since the UC's are very competitive but not impossible if you plan ahead and get the grades.</p>
