<p>Just wondering because one of my friends got into UC Davis last year as an OOS community college student and I'm applying to the same exact major with more prereqs completed/higher GPA from another UC. Do in-state, 4-year applicants get the highest priority (regardless of their institution type, CSU vs UC vs private) or do OOS students from CC get higher priority just because they're going to a community college?</p>
<p>Thanks for your info!</p>
<p>As far as I know the only community college students who get priority are those attending community colleges in California and (though it may not be required) are California residents. It’s part of the California Master Plan for Higher Education. UC campuses have agreements with CCC campuses to accept a certain amount of CCC students every year. I believe priority goes something like CCC and other UC students, CSU students, California residents attending other schools, and then everyone else. </p>

<p>To answer your question more directly: I believe UC to UC transfers get higher priority than CSU to UC. CSU to UC get higher priority than OOS CC because OOS CC is classified the same as OOS. </p>
<p>UCLA says:</p>
<p>“We give highest priority to students who are transferring from California community colleges or other University of California campuses. All schools admit for the fall quarter only.”</p>

<p>Generally speaking </p>
<p>California CC
UC
CSU
other 4 year
other CC</p>
<p>Awesome, I’m set then. Thanks! :D</p>
<p>To add to what xelink said, I have also heard that applicants from California automatically get higher priority than OOS. So someone from a California private 4-year college would get higher priority than someone from an OOS private 4-year college.</p>
<p>Is is related to California residency?</p>
<p>Possibly. I know that OOS/International students attending CCC have lower priority than CA residents. I assume a similar priority shift occurs for non-CCC applicants as well. I think UCs give preference to California students to prevent a brain drain.</p>
