UC transfer question...

<p>Could you help me to understand California colleges!</p>

<p>Is this the rank of priority?
1. CC
2. CAL state/UC
3. NON-UC (example USC)
4. OUT-STATE</p>

<p>If I chose to go to USC, will it be easier to transfer to Stanford because it is a California college?</p>

<p>Are you talking about completing a bachelor’s at USC and attending graduate school at Stanford, or transferring as a junior into a bachelor’s degree program?</p>

<p>Transferring as a junior into a bachelor’s degree program</p>

<p>This would be pretty difficult, as Stanford accepts about 1-2% of transfer students, their spot being dependent on how many Freshmen and Sophomores drop out/turn down acceptance.</p>

<p>[Transfer</a> Requirements & Process : Stanford University](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/transfer/index.html]Transfer”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/transfer/index.html)</p>

<p>Cal States and UCs show preference to California CCs, but it isn’t necessarily a guarantee unless you take advntage of some sort of Transfer Alliance Program (which still isn’t always a guarantee). Since they’re all part of the California Higher Education system, there are more distinct agreements.</p>

<p>Stanford, on the other hand, isn’t obligated to show preference to CCs, and probably doesn’t.</p>

<p>I think attending a four year university just to complete lower divisions would look worse. (It’s also pretty expensive.)</p>

<p>So to answer your question, the list you gave is probably pretty accurate if you’re talking about transferring to a Cal State/UC, but for Stanford I’d say chances for those four choices are equally the same and would depend on your academic performance.</p>

<p>Actually it’s been seen that a large majority of Stanford transfers do originate from cc’s/jc’s. Someone around these message boards that got accepted as a transfer last year said something like out of the 20 people that were admitted as transfers over half were from cc’s or jc’s. Here is even a recent discussion of this issue: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/638328-transfer-ivy-ivy.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/638328-transfer-ivy-ivy.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
