UCR to UCSD lower division tansfer

<p>major: Mechanical Engineering
High school UC GPA (sophomore up until senior year): 4.01~4.1 (no exact number)
I know this is going to be a hard task to do, but I really wish to transfer to either SD or UCI after freshman year, I've read that some people done it, but that's long time ago, just don't know what the situation is right now.
Any advice is welcomed, this is really giving me a lot of stress at the moment</p>

<p>Go to a community college and then transfer to UCSD/UCI. It will save you money and more importantly, you will have a higher priority coming out of a CC since UC’s favor CC students more than UC-UC or CSU-UC transfers. As for transferring after your first year, someone take the throne. </p>

<p>…UCs don’t accept sophomore level transfers and the more pre-reqs you have down the better. If you want to do engineering I would recommend 2 or 3 years at CC. </p>
