As an OOS Student, due to financial issues, I think I will most likely need to transfer to a private school from UCLA, I will be a freshman at UCLA this fall. Any suggestions for similar style colleges or privates in California, or private schools that offer a lot of need based financial aid. Or suggestions for schools with good transfer admission rates. For an idea of my standing I was accepted to Berkeley and wait listed at uChicago and rejected from the 2 ivies I applied to. My career aim is international relations.
What is your home state?
I do not know about their transfer rates or need based aid to transfer students, but some of the schools on this list might be of interest to you:
Why start at UCLA if you have to transfer for financial reasons?
FYI: Transfer students in general get less financial aid, so you should consider not attending UCLA at all but consider other schools where you were accepted or consider a Gap and reapply to more affordable options.
Do you live in a state where starting at a community college and then transferring to the state flagship is an affordable option?
There is no real point in starting at a college that is too expensive to the point of not being able to finish there.
