nsped...you like one and dislike the other based on undergraduate experience, but its hilarious because chances are you've only experience one of their undergraduate experiences...and if you've never attended stanford or uc berkeley, i dont see why your commenting on the undergraduate experience to begin with lol

<p>Of course, when applying to universities, we can only rely on the experiences of others and descriptions of those schools and observing which school thus fits each of us better before choosing to which schools we should apply... LOL... and I think that one can make an educated opinion on undergraduate experiences by... well... obvserving the experiences of others and reading extensively about the school... LOL...</p>

<p>Therefore, I prefer Stanford to Cal. Odds are I will experience the undergraduate experience of neither schools; odds are, I have read enough about the schools to know which one I prefer.</p>

<p>what does it take for a NYC community college student to transfer to UCLA or UCB?</p>

<p>You Berkeley bashers have to remember that for most of us CCC transfers, it is the best choice out there for us. Even if its undergrad exp. and quality is much less than Stanford, I doubt that most of us would turn down going to Cal if given the choice. </p>

<p>At any rate, Stanford football sucks.</p>

<p>jmerc, the stats on Berkeley's out of state transfer admissions for 2006 are:
32 out of 340 OOS applicants were accepted.
The middle 50% GPA range of transfers was: 3.53 - 3.88</p>

<p>If you're really interested in Berkeley I would shoot for 3.7+. Obviously the higher the better.</p>

<p>UCLA has a great page on admitted transfer stats here:
<a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>In either case I would say make sure the essay in your application is top notch. Also, Califonia CC students have the advantage of a site called assist.org which is a list of how classes from local community colleges transfer to each UC. I think you'll have to do this the hard way. Keep copies of the syllabus for every class you take. I'm doing that right now at Berkeley to transfer some courses, and it's a pain. Email student advisors in the relavant colleges to see which classes you should take. About half the classes I took before transfering from UCSC to UCB were never counted (good classes, but a waste of time otherwise). Good luck!</p>
