Transferring from another UC

<p>The UCLA site says it's possible, but doesn't have much information on it. My question is after how long, and which terms will you be eligible to transfer for (not necessarily as a junior, but any time). Also, how much of the consideration is high school record, and how much is college record?</p>

<p>Its very difficult to transfer from one uc to another. They give first priority to CCC students, then CSU students (I think) and lastly to other UC students. You'll have to earn about a 3.8 gpa with alot of tough classes just to be competitive with the CCCers, so I'd say if you are dead set on going to UCLA, you should just go to a CCC for a couple years and then transfer.</p>

<p>That doesn't really answer either of my questions.</p>

<p>OK, you need to have 90 units. High school record is not considered at all, which means that college record is all that counts. I don't know which website you're looking at the doesn't give this very basic info about transfers, because its easy to find.</p>

<p>gentleman.. </p>

<p>thats quite mistaken actually. yes, top priority is given to CCC students, then UC transfer applicants, and then all other applicants (CSU students are given no priority whatsoever) which includes out of state, in state, and international students from all other universities. Because UCs give CCC students top priority, they go through all of the CCC applications before moving on to the UC applications, and then finally move onto the rest of the applicants if there are any seats available. This is the way the California educational system is set up so that CCC students can have seats at UCs. </p>

<p>as for the original question, the requirements are the same for all transfer applicants. Transfers usually must have at least 60 transferrable semester units (even though I would recommend about 70-75 as this is the average for most admitted students), so this would mean that transfers are usually at the junior level at UCs. While priority is given to CCC students, if you have great stats from a UC and give a good reason as to why you want to transfer, you may have a good chance. I got in to UCI from CSUF (a Cal State), which is known to be uncommon as CSUs are given the lowest priority at UCs for transfer. Best advice, though, would be to transfer from a CCC, complete your IGETCs there and do very well. High school record is considered, but plays a minimal role. Your college record will be given the most priority when transferring to a UC. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Since this person is tranfering to UCLA, which is on the quarter system, he or she will indeed need 90 quarter units (60 semester units from CCC).</p>
