<p>Does any one know the likely hood of someone transfering out of a CSU (Cal. State University) to a UC? What are my chances?</p>
<p>What should i do to ensure that i get into a UC, other than getting good grades?</p>
<p>Thanks i appreciate your help</p>
<p>Its really really really really hard but not impossible.</p>
<p>^^
i know that the transfer rates from a CC are much higher than CSU into the UC system</p>
<p>if this helps, i might be going to CSULB and i would really like to transfer to UCLA, but i just don't think that CC is the right place for me, im not convinced yet...</p>
<p>any suggestions?</p>
<p>I've always wanted to be a Berkeley student. But from high school, I didn't get into Berkeley. Instead, I attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and then applied to Berkeley for fall 2008 admission. And guess what? Berkeley accepted me!</p>
<p>At Cal Poly, I did exactly what all college applicants know they should do: I got good grades and immediately participated in extracurricular activities related to my major. I applied only to Berkeley so I could make my essays very Berkeley-specific, no one proofread my essays, and I just told Berkeley exactly why I wanted to be a student there.</p>
<p>Here's my advice. When it's time to transfer, even if you're unsure about how competitive you'll be, still apply. I had a C and five B's on my transcript, my overall GPA was 3.67, and I got into Berkeley's Chemical Biology major. Also, major in a subject you like, and participate in extracurricular activities that interest you. In high school, I faked a lot of interests to fit an image I thought admissions officers wanted to see. Now I study and participate in whatever I want, and I'm absolutely happy.</p>
<p>I might not even attend Berkeley. Here's why: Cal Poly is a wonderful school, I exploit the opportunites at Cal Poly, and these opportunities serve me wellI got into Berkeley! And when I apply for jobs or graduate school, employers and admissions officers will see the same person that Berkeley saw; and since Berkeley liked me, I think the employers and admissions officers will like me too. The Berkeley students, classes, and community would be a challengeand that's good. But I can also challenge myself at Cal Poly by striving for A's, having internships, and participating in extracurricular activities. I can find opportunities at my CSU that are just as valuable as Berkeley's more brand-name opportunities.</p>
<p>Wow! thanks i never thought about that way, well from what i have heard from other people CSULB is really good school so little by little i am more satisfied with the path that has chosen me,and you just made me feel alot more confident that i can succeed. I know that sounds cheesy but it's true. Thank you!</p>
