<p>I am currently a Senior in High School and I'm just wondering how hard it is to transfer from like UCR or UCSC to UCLA? I want to major in Physics or Astronomy so basically college of letters and science. What kind of GPA extracurriculars etc.</p>
<p>P.S. I have made up my mind that I am not going to CC. I know that it will be harder but I plan on working hard so I can transfer sophomore year.</p>
<p>Also my AIM is "Btwestyo" thanks.</p>
<p>No matter how hard you work, you will not be able to transfer as a sophomore. Essentially its not allowed. I was accepted to UCSD this year, and I am transfering from UC Merced (Junior standing).</p>
<p>^my friend transfered as a sophomore from uci to ucla. as long as you have enough units.</p>
<p>If you have enough units (90 quarter), then your a junior not a sophomore. But sure, if you can rake in the units needed you can transfer after one year, heck...I did lol</p>
<p>u just contradicted yourself. im confused now...</p>
<p>CC students have the priority, but you don't. You would be the last one they will consider.</p>
<p>no premed4life is right (and he didnt contradict himself)</p>
<p>you need to have at least 90 quarter units (60 semester units) to transfer, yes that will mean you are a junior, even if it's only ur 2nd year... Yes as premed4life said it is possible if you take extra units however at most schools you have to petition to do so.</p>
<p>0-44 quarter units = freshmen
45-89 quarter units = sophomore
90-134 quarter units = junior
135+ quater units = senior</p>
<p>howmany years youve been at the school has no effect on your grade level IE you can be there for 3 but if you've only taken 60 units ur still a sophomore</p>
<p>and No you will not be the last they consider, CCC students do have priority but that means that say you have a 3.6 and some EC's and there is anohter student from a CCC that has the "exact" same GPA and "exact" same EC's as you and there is ONLY ONE spot left, they will pick the CCC student... however that does not mean they will pick a student with a 3.58 over you... </p>
<p>In general it is harder to transfer but not impossible I am at a CSU and I got into UCSB and UCI, still waiting for UCLA/UCB... my friend last year got into UCLA for Business Econ from a CSU, he had a 3.88 though so yeah plan on getting high grades if you want to go to UCLA...</p>
<p>Well, my sister's boyfriend got in to UCD (he's from UCSB). And I know one of her friends from UCD also got into another UC? So I guess it's possible, it's just harder...</p>
<p>thanks a ton asq. so are you a sophomore at a CSU transfering to UC? so basically you pretty much have to go 2 years at a UC to transfer junior year. And its impossible to transfer to become a sophomore?</p>
<p>Btw do you have AIM?</p>
<p>I'm currently a sophomore at UCR and I got in UCI, UCD, and UCSD within the past 2 weeks. Now I'm just waiting on UCLA and Berkeley cuz the results come out later (crosses fingers :D). </p>
<p>For transferring after one year, I know it's possible as I've heard UCI accepts sophomore status transfers and heard about some people getting in after one year at UCR. I was going to do it last year but I forgot to do my app before the deadline. I've also heard about someone who transferred from UCSD to UCLA after one year. I think the sophomore status transfer is pretty hard though since they look at your highschool grades too (since you would have only been in college for like 2 months at the time you will be doing your app). </p>
<p>As for transferring from a UC, I don't think it would be too hard to transfer into another UC, except for maybe UCLA and Berekeley. UCLA and UCB's transfer acceptance rate (from both CC and UC's) is not as high as all the other UC's. You might want to check the avg GPA for admitted transfers from last year to see what kind of grades you would have to maintain. For me, as a Political Science major, 3.56 was the average GPA for admitted transfers to UCLA for the Fall 2007 quarter. You can check the list here:</p>
<p>UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Transfer Students, Fall 2007</p>
<p>Also, if you complete 2 years at say UCR or UCSC, you can complete all the breath requirement classes and get all of those pre-reqs taken care of before you transfer. My counsler said that she would issue a "UC Reciprocity" letter if I want to transfer as proof that I completed my breath requirements and am not subject to another UC's breath reqs. Also, unless you get a good chunk of $$$ from scholarships and/or financial aid, going to a UC for 2 years is gonna cost quite a lot of bank so you should take that into consideration too.</p>
<p>good luck :)</p>
<p>awesome man. whats your GPA and let me know if you get into either UCLA or Berkely. goodluck</p>
