So I know that its difficult to transfer from a CSU to a UC, but what about CSU to private university? Such as USC or maybe NYU?

In the cases you site, pretty unlikely. It will depend on several things, but the transfer in rates are NYU 26% and USC 21%. ( In comparison, SD State is initial 44% admit rate, SFSU is 67% admit rate.) You will have to be competitive. From a good school, good department. Will depend on the department you are transferring to. Your talent in comparison to the transfer pool. But I don't know first hand, perhaps stellar performance will be rewarded.

USC may be easier than NYU. Who knows. I do know that USC has articulation histories with CSULA, CSULB, CSUN, and Cal Poly Pomona. If you go to one of these CSUs, you can find the articulation here: USC ARR : Articulation : Articulation Histories

I'm guessing this means that they have had an at least significant amount of students transfer in from these CSUs. Take that for what it's worth.
