<p>can you transfer from UCR to either UCSD, UCLA, or UCB after 1 year or does it have to be 2 years? Also, are there any requirements that need to be fulfilled before I apply as a transfer? I will be attending UCR this fall as a freshman and I really want to transfer to one of these UCs.</p>
<p>You can but it’ll require that you have a ton of AP/community college credit. On top of that, you will have to finish all the major pre-requisites for UCSD, UCLA, or UCB. e.g. if you are a bio major, you must finish chemistry, physics, calculus, ect. If you are trying to get into a severely impacted major (e.g. Business Economics at UCLA) you will have no realistic chance at all without a 4.0 GPA. This is because they have more than enough qualified CCC applicants and they get first priority.</p>
<p>Does cc look dumb on a resume?</p>
<p>You don’t have to put it on your resume if you don’t want to.</p>
<p>But when I transfer it will only show 2 years at some UC right?</p>
<p>Your app will show what you’ve taken at UCR.<br>
Those schools know that you didn’t get into your first choices as a freshman and are trying to circumvent the system.
The community college kids that have tagged, get priority.</p>
<p>I mean when I transfer from a ccc it would say on my r</p>
<p>You decide what you want to put on your r</p>
<p>Honestly, having CC on your resume doesn’t matter much. Employers know that many people decide to go to CC to save money and then apply to university. The reason people may prefer not to take that path is because it’s easier to establish yourself at a university if you have four years there as opposed to two years. I know a few people who went to CC, transferred to a UC, and are now heading off to their choices of grad/med school. It is what you make of your time at CC and university that matters – you’ll have to make connections fast. But this is the case whether you transfer from CC or from UCR.</p>
<p>This is what I would focus on: If you decide to go to UCR and apply as a transfer to other UCs, would you mind staying where you are if you’re rejected? If the answer is no, then perhaps you should think some more about whether you’re letting the “prestige” or a four year university get the better of you. I really don’t mean that rudely. I went through a similar process two years ago. I decided to attend Davis because it was my second choice and there was no guarantee of transferring into Berkeley from CCC, so I decided to just do my best at Davis and apply as a transfer. If I got in, great! If not, I wasn’t overly bothered. Would you be bothered staying at UCR?</p>
<p>It is entirely possible to transfer within the UC system, but it is much easier as a junior transfer. If this is your goal, start planning as soon as possible. Maintain a great GPA, finish your minimum transfer requirements and major pre-reqs, and get involved in meaningful activities for your personal statement.</p>
<p>Honestly does undergrad even matter if your planning on going to grad school for an MBA?</p>
<p>I am confused. Are you going to go to Riverside in the fall, or to a CC? Or are you still trying to make up your mind where to go?</p>
<p>To answer your first question in the thread, you need to be a junior in terms of units to transfer to a UC. Regardless of whether you start from a CC or from another UC campus. They don’t care how much time it took to get to junior standing. So if you have a lot of AP credits, or somehow managed to earn enough extra units to qualify as a junior, then you can transfer in a year. Otherwise, no.</p>
<p>As for CC looking bad on your resume, most people simply list their four year degree and date of graduation. In other words “UC Davis, bachelor of whatever, June 2018”. They don’t give the actual dates of attendance. This isn’t an ironclad dodge. Employers that really care can simply ask you for an unofficial copy of your college transcript.</p>
<p>Yes I’m still making up my mind. I have until July 1 to decide because that’s the deadline for the cc application. Although I have SIR to UCR I would be only losing my deposit. The resume makes more sense now so I guess it’s worth going to cc and getting a shot at Berkeley la or San Diego right? UCR and UCI have a transfer admission guarantee so at the least I would go to irvine which isn’t as bad as riverside in terms of rankings and academics. I just want to know if it matters where you go for undergrad because I’m planning on going to grad school for an MBA. Thank you so much for all the help and advice!</p>
<p>[ul][<em>]Most CCs that I know about let you enroll up to the start of classes in the fall or even later. What CC are you looking at? [</em>]TAG is a great program but keep in mind that you don’t just sign up and get the guarantee. You have to take the proscribed classes and earn a specific GPA or the guarantee evaporates.[<em>]Where you go for undergrad matters to some extent, but on this board you have too many rankings-obsessed kids that know little of how the real-world works. US News, which publishes the bible as far as many are concerned, ranks Riverside 101st nationally. Your future is hardly compromised by attending a top-100 school out of the 4,000 or so 4-year colleges in the US. Cal or UCLA probably get some more attention than the other UCs from prospective employers, but that is swamped by another effect. What will really matter to your future is what you do – the grades you get, major you choose, internships you get ( a real KEY to a good job after college), profs you get to know for recs, etc. [</em>]undergrad probably matters less for an MBA than any other grad school. That’s because good grad schools don’t admit right after undergrad, they want their students to have a few years of quality work experience. Indirectly undergrad plays a role in how easy it is to land a good job, but even there name of the college is a 2nd-order effect compared to what you did as an undergrad.[/ul]Only you can decide if you want the disruption of attending 2 schools which impacts your overall college social experience, your ability to get to know profs, the effect of being in a CC instead of a UC to start college, etc. Nobody here can tell you the “best” choice. If you haven’t done so already visit Riverside to get a sense of what it would be like to be a student there, same with the CC you have in mind. Take the tour, talk to some kids sitting around, etc. Consider both approaches and what they would be like, then pick the one that is better for you.</p>
<p>I’m sure that I will be able to achieve the minimum GPA requirements and complete the required course load. I’m planning on attending San Diego miramar college. I will seriously give this some thought. I’ve always thought that going to a better school looks good on resumes and jobs.</p>
<p>
Sentence should have been: “That’s because good MBA schools don’t admit right after undergrad, they want their students to have a few years of quality work experience.”</p>
<p>Hello, I was in your situation 2 years ago… sort of. I got admitted to UCSB which is favorite UC campus. However for family reasons I couldn’t leave L.A. area. So the next year I applied to UCLA, thankfully I got admitted. I am also pursuing business school and was shocked to learn a few things:</p>
<p>1) Top MBA school’s prefer students from the Ivy’s and Stanford (to a lesser extent Harver Mudd, Caltech, college and William and Mary and other elite PRIVATE institutions) </p>
<p>2) For the rest of us that can only afford public schools the odds of going to top MBA school decrease: These are the top public school’s that MBA give love to undergrads:</p>
<p>For example Harvard Business school profile of top feeder schools looked like this (public schools)
- UC Berkeley 23
- UV charlotesville 9
- UCLA 9
- Michigan 9
- Texas 9</p>
<p>For Stanford they were:</p>
<p>UVA 12
Berkeley 10
Texas 9
UCLA 7
North Carolina 4</p>
<p>let also mention that they might admit for the most 3 students from the rest of the UC’s Combined!!!</p>
<p>If you really want to go to a top MBA program go to Berkeley, then UCLA. It pains me but hey at least we beat $C this year.</p>
<p>when it comes to transferring here are who gets priorities</p>
<p>1) California CC students
2) other Uc’s
3) the rest</p>
<p>In closing I want to say that a friend wanted to transfer from Harvey Mudd to UCLA with a 3.8 GPA and got rejected. they give priority to CCC students</p>
<p>Sorry for the long post, in sumarry if an Elite Business School (Top 8) is what you want then its either UCB or UCLA, UCSD wont give a real edge over UCR. however if you are looking outside the top 25(for ex: USC, arizona state) then going from UCR to UCSD might be worth it.</p>
<p>That’s ok but thanks for the amazing advice!! How hard is it to transfer from ccc to la or Berkeley? As opposed to uc to uc transfer. I know that cc get priority. But around what GPA, internships, jobs, and extracurriculars do cc students need?</p>
<p>Look at [Profile</a> of Admitted Transfer Students, Fall 2013 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof13.htm]Profile”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof13.htm)</p>
<p>you can see that community college students had a 28% admit rate vs 20% from UC to UC, It becomes more obvious when UCLA admits about 4,581 CCC students and only 147 UC’s students. Those numbers alone tell you the story.</p>
<p>Unfortunately every year it gets harder and harder to get admitted to UCLA and UCB as tranfers, because of the recession people that were admitted as freshmen decided to go to CCC just to save money. The competition for these 2 schools is fierce!!! I can say that I was blessed that I have been admitted to these 2 fine institutions, also UCSB. (I will be a gaucho in another lifetime). </p>
<p>If you look at the stats the average GPA is a 3.7, I would suggest you join TAG and TAP.
Here is a link for TAP </p>
<p>[Transfer</a> Alliance Program - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/ADM_CCO/tap.htm]Transfer”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/ADM_CCO/tap.htm) </p>
<p>I wish the best of luck on transferring, I needed a lot of it when I applied last year.
If you decide that UCR is the best choice then go for it, I like the bear with the quilt.</p>
<p>What I don’t want you to think is that all schools are equal and if you work hard you can get into any graduate school. To keep it real that is baloney that a lot of counselors say to keep everyone happy. Of course choosing your college matters!! If not then everyone would want to apply to Cal State’s. </p>
<p>I am a realist also, as much as I like UCLA I know that I would have opened more doors had I gone to Stanford, Harvard, MIT… however I am happy at UCLA and that is what you have to look, would you be happy despite going to a less prestigious school??? I answered Yes to that question and that is why I decided to apply UC’s and forgo elite Ivy’s.</p>
<p>Thank You very much for all the advice!! it really helps. What’s the difference between TAP and TAG? I know that TAG is a transfer admission guarantee.</p>
