UCI to UCLA transfer students

Hi I will be attending UCI in the fall but would really like to transfer to UCLA since it has always been my dream school. I’m sick and tired of everyone telling me that it’s nearly impossible to transfer from UC to UC, but for those who have managed to transfer to UCLA, what are some advice do you have for transferring? I get that it’s really difficult but what do colleges look for primarily in transfer students? Thanks.

UCLA looks primarily at CC students.
