<p>Is a transfer like this possible? I may end up going to SB or maybe SMC (CC). For UCSB I will have 40 starting credits, so almost a sophomore. Would that mean an easier transfer?</p>
<p>Which one will have a higher rate of success?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Community college is the highest rate of transfers. If you already have 40 units, just go to community college for a year, keep your gpa at a 4.0 and transfer to UCLA from there</p>
<p>It shouldn’t be too difficult to get a 4.0 right?</p>
<p>Its much harder to get a 4.0 at ucsb than community college. I went to ucsb as a freshman and went to ccc afterwards and got accepted to all the UCs as a transfer. the technical courses at ucsb are quite difficult. CCC is your best option although you sacrifice the freshman experience.</p>
<p>The freshman experience is overrated</p>
<p>I would disagree. It really depends on what you make of it much like the rest of college.</p>
<p>I dont really want the freshmen experience, doesn’t mean anything to me.</p>
<p>So the 4.0 standard is what I need for UCLA, wouldn’t a UC-UC transfer have lower reqs?</p>
<p>a 4.0 is not a requirement but aim for as close to one as possible. Also a UC-UC transfer would be far more difficult because the classes are not articulated so you wouldn’t know if you fulfilled the prereqs even if the course names seem similar. Also, UC-UC transfers have lower priority than CCC transfers. For example Math 8 at UCSB which covers essentially the same topics as the discrete math course at UCLA are not deemed equivalent.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, this is turning out to be a confusing decision</p>
