UC to UC transfer..

<p>Hi. I got accepted to UCR as a Pre-Business major I'm planning to transfer from UCR to UC Berkeley as an Pre-business major.. is there any requirement that I'll have to complete in order to transfer to that school?</p>

<p>I'm not sure about your specific question, but I do know it's much more difficult to go from UC to UC than from community college to UC. You might want to think about that.</p>

<p>i currently attend ucr and i asked my counselor about how i can transfer to ucb...but she said that because ucr also has a business program, so it would be even harder to transfer to another school with a similar program.</p>

<p>I went and saw my counselor today (at UC Davis), and she asked me why and wanted to transfer and stuff. She wasn't encouraging and I could tell that she didn't approve of people transferring. I asked her if SATs would still be a large part, and she said "yeah, its same weight as freshman". Don't necessarily trust your counselors!</p>

<p>yeah counselors lie.. UC application doesn't even ask for your SAT's... when i talked to my counselor about transferring and what courses would go over and stuff she didn't even answer me. She gave me the "its almost impossible to do an intercampus transfer" speech. I'm like wat the heck, this school blows and you know it, just help me out of here.</p>

<p>if they say it is almost impossible to transfer from UC to UC, they are full of crap. I'm about to finish my second year here at UCR and have been accepted to UCSB, UCI, and UCSD, with a gpa barely above a 3.0</p>

<p>honkforcookies, May I ask if you did any ECs?</p>

<p>user87, i used to go to ucr and i was accepted to usc, ucsd with a 3.55.</p>

<p>rejected from LA and Cal though (impacted business)</p>

<p>my ec's were literally nothing (i sat on my butt and played games/partied all day) don't worry about it and just apply; i'm sure you'll get into at least one UC.</p>

<p>For years now, I've heard that transferring from UC-to-UC was nearly impossible. I used to believe it as well until a friend of mine was looking to transfer from UCD to UCLA (long story --- I started a thread about it here a week or two ago if you're interested).</p>

<p>Long story short: <a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06_UC.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06_UC.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It happens, and while it's not certainly not as easy as coming from a CCC, it's not "impossible" either. I think a 30-40% admit rate for UCLA isn't bad at all.</p>

<p>That said, I have no clue about transferring into Haas (which is what it sounds like you're trying to do). All bets are off when it comes to UCB Business.</p>

<p>Edit: Heh, didn't notice the date of the post. Oops.</p>

<p>if you have the stats to back you up in order to transfer to better schools, you're contributing to your current school's reputation/overall stats etc.</p>

<p>of course they want you to stay, and they're not going to give you the info you need (counselors) ..it's pretty stupid</p>

<p>Should someone who totally bombed (well, not totally, but did horrible) his/her first year still consider transferring?</p>

<p>I think if you have a GPA above 3.2 and you want to transfer, you should give it a shot.</p>

<p>i think the reason why so many counselors disapprove of transfer to another uc is because your already in a UC, and while its true that UCs do give priority to CC transfers, next would be other UC transfers, then out of state, then lower divs. however if it is within a similar program you would have to make a pretty dam compelling statement of why you feel t he need to transfer</p>

<p>wow...this is an old post</p>

<p>Since we are on the topic of inter-UC transfers. I thought I heard of some form you have to complete and submit to the schools you are applying to aside from the normal application. Has anyone else heard this? Also are we required to send in our SAT scores? I know there was not a space for it on the application, so I wasn't sure what we were supposed to do.</p>

<p>where would CSU to UC transfers be on the list of preferences be on that list?</p>

<p>eanicich, i've never heard of such a form but this does concern me..</p>

<p>anybody else heard of it as well?</p>

<p>Can someone help me out. I want to to a UC to UC transfer but I have 36 units of AP credit. If i take the recommended load of 15 units when I transfer I will have 126 units which is over the cap of 120. Do AP units count when transfering. PLease help!</p>

<p>NOPE. rest assured, you're fine-- just caculate your units minus AP work and CC work</p>

<p>try to make urself as much qualified as possible. from all the posts from this forum i can imagine the following person getting into ucla or berkeley:
factors in the order of importance:</p>

<p>applying from ccc; major requirements completed; 3.5 + gpa; transfer program; essay; EC's; igetc completion</p>

<p>Basically, i learned that the uc's do not give a crap about how qualified YOU THINK u are. if u don't complete major requirements or come from ccc, ur chances are tremendously diminished. if u are tap certified, ur admission to ucla is almost guaranteed. so basically if u meet all the criterias mentioned aboved, that's what they will care about and nothing else. this is the reason why u might hear about ccc students with less than 3.0 gpa getting into berkeley. qualification is all that matters. u can demonstrate ur greatness through essays, by transferring in one year, etc. but these probably only matter to brake ties bewtween equally qualified individuals.</p>

<p>yes, uc's don't care about sat. but u do need to send ap scores if u want them to count.</p>

<p>counselors in uc's might lie, i imagine, because of the rivalry between various uc's my ccc counselor is completely opposite of lying or discouraging me. also important, i think, is that ur ccc have good connection with the uc's ur transferring to. u probably can see the conncetion just by looking at how many students at ur school is admitted toa particular uc. for example 91 per cent of tap ceritifed students from my ccc is accepted to ucla. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TAP.it is so easy to be certified.</p>
