<p>Hey!</p>
<p>I'm currently at UF (University of Florida) and I hope to transfer to UCSC in the Spring 2010 semester. I have a 3.4 GPA and have a strong intrinsic desire to attend UC-Santa Cruz. Does anyone think I have a fair chance of getting into UCSC as an out-of-state transfer or can offer an advice at all? Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, I think you have a chance, but I know that they tend to favor in-state transfers. You would have to check if all of your coursework transfers over to UCSC. I’m just wondering, why UCSC? My brother went there and I live in Santa Cruz. It’s a nice place. I’m going to Berkeley though.</p>
<p>why would you go from UF to UCSC
hot chicks -> hippies</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance since the state wants more OOS students to pay the higher cost and UCSC is not that hard to get into. But why do you wanna leave UF?</p>
<p>My girlfriend and I have been pretty upset with the UF education.</p>
<p>Tebow and the NCAA National Championship are awesome but I could’ve gone to any other state university and gotten the same mediocre education. We want to go somewhere near the SF Bay area and UCSC seems like a pretty diverse, well rounded school. I don’t think I have the GPA for Berkeley coming from out state…but I’d love to go there.</p>
<p>I don’t think UCSC is known for its academic prowess.</p>
<p>Another big reason is because it seems like the chances of getting into a UC school as an out-of-state transfer are slim, especially with a 3.4 GPA. I figured UCSC would give me the best shot since they have the highest acceptance of the UC schools. Is this true?</p>

when i visited UCSC there were hot hippy chicks : D</p>
<p>haha nice mikey. santa cruz does get boring VERY fast though :(</p>
<p>with a 3.4 you definitely have a shot imo; apply and find out i guess. have you looked at USF/SJSU/Santa Clara in the bay area?</p>
<p>Yeah I’ve looked at cal state, but I think I want to go to a UC school if I’m going to leave florida.</p>
