I recently learned about the Blue and Gold Plan and I’m planning on applying to UC schools next year as a 3rd year from my community college (sadly my major pre-reqs prevented me from transferring this year). I am sure that I will meet all the requirements listed on the UC website, but one! It states, “Be in your first four years as a UC undergraduate (first two for transfer students).” Does this mean that I won’t qualify for it, as I am going to be in my third year?
You will be in your first year at UC immediately after transfer, unless you had previously attended a UC before.
