<p>First of all. Can I transfer from a uc to uc? And if so, is ucm a good school and would it be easier than transfering from cc? I know a few years ago it was but idk about right now. I would go to a cc but the classes are just so hard to get now and I don't want to wait another 2 years here.</p>
<p>A CC is DEFINITELY the way to go. Not knocking UCM but, it is Merced… you will be paying $13,000/yr in tuition alone to go to merced vs $800 going to CC. And It’s way easier to transfer from a CC. According to UCLA transfer statistics from Fall 2011: 92.43% of all transfers admitted were from California CC’s vs 3.64% from other UC’s. It is possible, but difficult to go from UC to UC.</p>
<p>UC’s give transfer priority to CC students so its generally harder to transfer form UC to UC. I know someone who transferred to LA from Merced but not sure how usual that is.</p>
