| There are countless threads on this. Transfering from a UC to another UC is not that hard unless it is Cal/UCLA maybe UCSD. You will hear people with 3.0s who get into the 2nd tier UCs. You shouldn't have a problem tranfering into UCSC.
Get a 3.5+ and you should be fine to get in any UC unless your major is impacted. If it is, get as close to a 4.0 as possible or decide to major in something that is not impacted. Keep in mind the UC will probably not let you switch into an impacted major after transferring into an easier major... so if you are firm on your major, just stay with it and cross your fingers. |
