Which UC should I transfer to?

@ILoveJazz41

The California Community Colleges (CCCs) will probably consider you as a resident but the UCs will likely not consider you as a California resident if they initially considered you as a non-resident unless you take a gap year with no enrollments at a CCC, CSU, or UC. The rationale behind this is that they consider your move as motivated by “educational opportunities” which requires additional (often unattainable) evidence of intent to stay in CA.

If you search the forum and you will see that the only successful residency reversals with no gap year were due to military relocations, court approved legal exemptions, or involved large purchases of capital.
